Is ruby ok for game development?

There's really just one way to find out: try to develope a game in it yourself. There's actually no better way to know.
I mean in general. Like the design of the language and its capabilities.
Ruby is a fine language. As for game development, there is a library Rubygame, much like pygame for Python AFAIK.

Personally, I find it's better to build off the experiences and knowledge of others.

I find the contrast between your name and your statement humorous [grin]

"Game Programming" in an of itself does not exist. We learn to program and then use that knowledge to make games.

Short Answer: Yes

Slightly Longer Answer:

Most languages are perfectly fine for game development, any general purpose language that isn't designed to be a royal pain in the ass (Brainfuck for example) should work well enough.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!
i liked the ruby language itself but last time i used it the main problem was a lot of the library's for it including rubygame were still beta-ish and lacked good documentation or tutorials
