Also. If you want to try this out on your Mac/PC/Linux machine in a "If it works in here it'll work on the Switch" type of environment. I've extracted the pertinent bits and have it available here for you to build your own awesome stuff: http://dragonruby.org

Yes it costs money. No it isn't open source. Stop asking devs to give away their efforts so you can save 0.001% of your six figure salaries.

Here’s the proof. This is a Nintendo Switch, running A Dark Room, which allows you to execute Ruby code. The Ruby code in this video is a Quine that executes Ruby code.

Dear Ruby devs and game devs. I have a crazy announcement I want to share. Please boost.

Last week I released A Dark Room to the Nintendo Switch. Within the game, I also shipped a Ruby interpreter and a code editor as an Easter Egg.

*This Easter Egg effectively turns every consumer spec-ed Nintendo Switch into a Ruby Machine.*

1. Download A Dark Room from the US/EU.
2. Connect a USB keyboard and press the “~” key.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Oh snap. What's that? https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/a-dark-room-switch/

PS: It's made with #ruby

Reading info online. It looks like eshop games release at noon EST. This is going to end up being the longest 12 hours of my life.

It feels like I'm never done polishing this quaint little game. Having lots of fun tweaking. I'll release it to @itchio soon: https://youtu.be/QctPOsWS29U

Please boost 👆.

A simple tap/click of a button is an easy way to show support for an indie game dev that *really* cares about the medium. I'd mean a lot to me.
