Following Tutorial steps 1 and 2.  Establishing a screen and background.  Not much exciting on the game progress.  As seems usual, Iteration 1 makes minimal app progress and continues to clean up infrastructure issues of Iteration 0

Github Tag for Iteration-01

Observations :

• Most Gosu objects are opaque due to the Ruby wrapper of C++ Gosu library
• Heavy use of mocking and expectations will be required to properly Spec the game

Additions to environment:

• mocha gem : additional mocking tools above Rspec’s internal mocker

I am naming the codebase of my Gosu Ruby Tutorial : Gosu Star Catcher

It’s on GitHub http://github.com/pjfitzgibbons/Gosu-Star-Catcher .

I’m using a basic Ruby library layout.. hand created.

Here are the components involved at the current moment :
