I am looking to develop for Maemo using Ruby. I would like to give C++ a side-step if I can.

What development environment would you suggest is best? I am looking for the most supportive environment possible

Thanks,
Mark.

I’m posting this here since you closed the comments for that app.
I have a few (hopefully minor) requests:
Usually, I play with the sochi ruleset, and you got that pretty well, with one minor difference:
during the пол-виста (half-whist, or however you called it), I am used to the following: the amount of whist written on the player is is always 4: either 2 hands on a 6-game, or 1 hand on a 7-game. Your current rules only give 2 and 1 whists.
Is it possible to add this configuration option?

Next, is it possible to set a goal for the game (e.g. 10 or 20 points)?
this helps visually understand how much is left to the game (considering we play by score, not by time).

Finally, the only problem which makes your application unusable is the
”
/usr/lib/ruby1.8/libglade2.rb:24: [BUG] object allocation during garbage collection phase
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [arm-linux-eabi]

aborted”

Is it possible to have auto-saves after every single round, and prefcalc would load the last auto-save at start?
Otherwise, I am always scared to loose the score for the game…

Thank you,

Ilia
