Run GUIs as Scripts

About

Hi there, Zero Stars here.I recently published some new work to Hokusai Pocket, which is a cross-platform binary made on top of raylib and MRuby that runs GUIs from ruby scripts.License?MIT!How does it work?The binary is available on the GitHub releases page: https://github.com/skinnyjames/hokusai-pocket/releases/tag/0...You can download the binary on x86 Windows, OSX, or Linux, and run your GUI application withhokusai-pocket run:target="<your_hokusai_app.rb>"For a little bit of a hello world, I started a photoshop clonehttps://github.com/skinnyjames/hokusai_demo_paintAlso a little gamehttps://github.com/skinnyjames/pocket-squaresDocs / Help?The docs are in progress, but the old docs for the CRuby version express some of the basic ideas around the project. https://hokusai.skinnyjames.net/docs/intro(I'm also available to answer questions in between slinging pizza)Deps?Hokusai pocket currently uses* libuv for offloading cpu intensive tasks to a worker pool to prevent blocking the UI thread, and I plan to integrate some libuv networking as well.* raylib for backend graphics / I've also built with SDL on arm64 to run applications on my pinephone* NativeFileDialog for the lovely integration into filesystem.* MRuby for running or embedding the scripts* tree-sitter for the custom template grammar (Although templates can be built with ruby)Anyway, I hope you get a chance to try it. If you make something cool AND have docker installed, you can also publish your work as single binary`hokusai-pocket publish:target=<your cool program.rb>`Would love feedback, apps, and help with documentation and more build targets.urs truly,@ ᴗ @
