@p I've been enjoying the book. And, I really like some of the design decisions. I noticed some of the things, that require leg work to do in JavaScript, are the default in Ruby. Why does python even exist? (though after talking with a friend, the answer seems to be, people prefer a simpler smaller syntax)
My primary interest in coding these days, is either a micro controller, or to make something with graphical user interaction. So, of course I am doing the silly thing of reading Why's and playing with Ruby2D.
Running their getting started examples feels like, PFM xD RubyMine IDE doesn't seem to know what is going on either. But, the answer seems right under my nose.
Through experimentation, update, set, and show, all seem to be instance methods for Window. So, I am guessing there will be some kind of "make Window current context" command to be covered.
The third version, feels the most like something in another language, make a new instance of Window.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying Ruby, it is pretty neet.
