Rubies In Space

=============

Find some Rubies by building your own agent in Ruby

What is _Rubies in Space_

----------------------

_Rubies in Space_ is a Programming Game in **Ruby** that takes place in space. Instead of simulation a grid based world where the main point is creating the best swarm tactic, _Rubies in Space_ evolves around **RTS** and **RPG** tactics. 

As far as I know (and searched - not that I looked thoroughly) there is no such thing and especially no such thing in Ruby. There is so much software for Ruby, but not a lot of games, simply because it isn't suited very well for games. That said, I don't really care. So let's go! -- this is a DRAFT

How to Win the Game

----------------------

In _Rubies in Space_ you control ships by providing the [crew](https://github.com/Derkje-J/RubiesInSpace/wiki/Crew). You have two goals:

- Stay alive by keeping the [ship](https://github.com/Derkje-J/RubiesInSpace/wiki/Ship) alive

- Find the **Ruby**

There latter is hidden in one of the many asteroids and can only be found by drilling with a special **Drill** that has to be researched and build. More on this later. You stay alive by keeping the energy level of the ship above 0.

Game Rules

----------------------

There are three rules:

- You have access to the `./interface` folder. The `iship.rb` file contains a class `Ship::Interface`. When your **crew** is assigned a **ship**, it will be passed on an instance of this interface. Use it to control the ship. Don't try to extend, read, send, access the internals. That's just lame.

- If you want to use a `Randomizer`, use `Ship::Interface#rand`, `Ship::Interface#rand(n)` or `Ship::Interface#bytes(n)`. The reason is that we can then simulate the complete game again by passing in the seed.

- Try to keep your code fast. In later versions you will be penalized.

Participation

----------------------

At this moment the best way is to **Fork** this repo and provide a new **Crew** in the `./crew` folder. I am working on an online tournament system, other game modes and so forth and on. 

Game World
