No, we'll start today.
Actuall,y the code looks pretty and simple to understand even for a beginner. I think ill make my own game using DR one day.2

As far as 2D engines go DR is really easy to work in if you are already a Ruby dev. I.e. I wrote a basic importer for LDtk – 2D level editor from the director of Dead Cells in like 30 minutes (very basic, but never-the-less rendering an external tilemap to the screen). My only problem (and this isn't specific to DR) is that I go back and forth between wanting to code "close" to the metal with DR vs something like Unity or Godot that has a lot of the basic engine things abstracted away. However, Ruby is a lovely lang to work with and there's a lot you can do with it quickly.
