Mittsu – 3D Graphics Library for Ruby
- onion2k 10y agoQuite handy if you've just landed a job in a somewhat unusual 24hr bookshop. (Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Penumbra%27s_24-Hour_Bookstore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Penumbra%27s_24-Hour_Books... - the protagonist writes a 3D visualisation in Ruby. It's a good read.)
- robinsloan 10y agoHa hahaha. Sure enough, I clicked this story b/c I was like, "Oh hey! That matches my interests!" ;)
- robin_reala 10y agoAs an aside, mittsu (三つ) is the Japanese word for counting three things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_counter_word https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_counter_word
- cechner 10y agonah thats mitsu (as in mitsubishi)
- fenomas 10y agoGP is correct. It's right there in the wikipedia link.
- cechner 10y agoholy moly, I have forgotten more than I realised :( embarrassing
- zachrose 10y agoMitsubishi means "three water chestnuts" and explains the three-rhombus logo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi#History
- robobro 10y agoYou should show PNGs of the example renders, maybe APNGs / GIFs of rotation or zooming. That would make me feel like downloading it more, if it looked neat
- jellymann 10y agoI've added a few GIFs to the README now.
- OhSoHumble 10y agoOh my, is the code for the tank example published anywhere? I didn't see anything in the examples directory but I could have missed it. Edit: Looked through your repositories and here it is! https://github.com/jellymann/mittsu-tank-demo https://github.com/jellymann/mittsu-tank-demo
- ph0rque 10y agoSorry if this is an ignorant question, but does it run in the browser?
- jellymann 10y agoNo, it runs as a desktop app in a native window.
- Meegul 10y agoInteresting. I started my own work on something exactly like this, before giving up after realizing how poor the Ruby opengl perfomance is / how difficult proper graphics rendering can be. Nice to see some more graphics work being done with Ruby.
