Desert Code Camp...
I’m doing a talk on Zyps at Desert Code Camp on Saturday, May 31st. (Exact time TBD.) There are several other Ruby sessions as well, ranging from beginner to expert.
If you’re in the Phoenix/Tempe area, go get signed up!

OK, here we go. The window on the left is the server, and on the right is the client. The server has absolute authority on all object movement right now, so objects on the client will occasionally “snap” back into the places dictated by the server. (That’s the jagged part in the trails on the client; the smaller boundary on the server causes them to change direction on the server only, and fall out of sync momentarily.) The shells in the background are both barfing debug data.
Next up is to test with multiple clients, and with joining/leaving whenever the client wants. I also need to get back the same degree of freedom for live coding that dRuby offered (shouldn’t be too difficult).
I have two Environments talking!
Well, sort of. They can only share one Creature, and then they start throwing DuplicateObjectErrors. And they don’t keep that one creature’s movement in sync. But it sure was a thrill to drop a Creature on one screen and watch it appear, behaviors and all, on the other.

Especially if the product manual has as much fun Frenchlish as the Website…
Logan Barnett was (rightly) horrified to see during my presentation that I was still using a Windows command prompt… He pointed me to Console 2.0.
Sweet! I’ve long been wondering how I could get PuTTY or the Gnome Terminal working on Windows (without resorting to CygWin). This is every bit as good.
