Dev setup

Create a doc detailing how to get a development environment set up on Ubuntu.

I could probably do that if you want.

@roobie that'd be great! :)

Not 100% sure that this is the correct place to ask about this, but I've got a problem with the program. When I enter my character name and press the 'Start' button I get this:

/rog/lib/ingame.rb:182:in `change': undefined local variable or method `doors17701772144198pos00width202num0branchmainheight468has_doors_ontop' for # (NameError)

Basically you're getting that error because the game is receiving data from the server that it doesn't understand. To keep things simple, the server only sends the game text, and in this case the game is expecting a string containing the text representation of a hash, which it then evals so it can use the hash. The text obviously isn't formatted right, and I don't know why that's happening.

What version of Ruby are you using? What server are you using? (thin, mongrel, webrick, etc.)

[roobie]

All right. I'm using ruby 1.8 and thin 1.2.11.

[tylerc]

Ah, well, it would appear that the ROG server doesn't work under Ruby 1.8. Doesn't really matter though, use 1.9, it's loads better.
