Is this skill suitable for beginners?

Yes, it offers everything from basic 'Hello World' setups and coordinate systems to complex scene management and optimization techniques.

Can this skill handle collision detection?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for DragonRuby's built-in Geometry API and custom rectangle-based collision logic.

How does this skill help with game loops?

It provides optimized patterns for the DragonRuby tick method, ensuring game logic and rendering stay perfectly synchronized at 60 frames per second.

DragonRuby is a highly productive, professional-grade 2D game engine that uses the Ruby programming language for rapid development.

Does it support controller input?

Absolutely, it includes unified input handling patterns for keyboard, mouse, and standardized game controllers.
