If Shakespeare wore Reeboks... 7

I played a decent amount of Othello over the holidays, and on the plane back home decided to write a basic Ruby ASCII Othello game. Since I’ve been reading over the official Shoes manual lately (“Nobody Knows Shoes”) I decided to mesh it into a Shoes game! So grab your Shoes and try it out:

    Hi! I've run this in Ion3 tiling window manager, and window stretched to the whole frame. I think it would be cool to add ":resizable = false" to "Shoes.app #{options} do" block, as all elements anyway are positioned absolutely and don't move to the center of the window (for example) when user changes windows' size.

    Amazing. I still haven't looked at Shoes, but talking about cross-platforms GUIs with native look and feel, I always followed wxWidgets. Maybe it is time to take a deep look at WxRuby ;-)
