[Problem] Gosu won't work?

[Ulqiorra]

I have Gosu v0.7.14 on my Windows laptop. I'm trying to make a game with it, but it won't load. The DOS window just sits there, and it won't load the Gosu window. When I close it, it says it needs more time to complete an operation, but i've left it on for a half-hour, and nothing. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Does this script do anything on your comp?

 

require 'rubygems'

require 'gosu'

 

class Game < Window

  def initialize

    super(640, 480, false)

    self.caption = "Does it work?"

  end

end

 

$game = Game.new

$game.show

 

[Ulqiorra]

no, still nothing.

What version of Ruby are you running?

 

[Ulqiorra]

1.8, e.

EDIT: I have no freaking clue why, but it started working again!

EDIT again: It started happening again. Why does it do this?!

I guess you are thinking he has Rubygems installed, if he doesnt that that code wouldn't work.

therefore you would have to use this code:

# require 'gosu'

#  

# class Game < Window

#   def initialize

#     super(640, 480, false)

#     self.caption = "Does it work?"

#   end

# end

#  

# $game = Game.new

# $game.show

Also, have you put the files found in lib/
into the project folder and then ran the .rb file using Ruby interperter?

I have RubyGems, it's just that every other time i turn my laptop on, Gosu won't work. Like this:

Turn on - It works.
Turn off & Turn back on later - It doesn't
Turn off & Turn back on later - It does
etc, etc

Mabye its a problem with your regisitry?

 

[Ulqiorra]

hmmm... possibly...

 

[Flickayy]

try running a registry cleaner. Dunno if this will help, but it will show you all the invalid registry keys.

It didn't seem to find anything Gosu related.
