Tonight I'm giving a lightning talk about the Chipmunk 2-D rigid body physics library at the Chicago Ruby User Group meeting. I plan on giving demonstrations of some simple applications I have created. One uses the accelerometer built into my mac to control a platter full of blocks on the screen. Wheee! The other is a very basic like-show-me-the-code-dude type example that people should be able to easily extend and play with.
Here are some useful research type links for tonight's participants:
Now for a quick editorial on the state of the CHIRB: Our monthly meeting is great, but far too work-centric. I enjoy programming beyond the context of web application frameworks, or resume building. That is why my 5 minute talk will be nothing but good, clean ruby fun. I encourage anyone who does clean non-work programming to step up with a lightning talk tonight!
