Ruby Shoes is a GUI toolkit for the Ruby programming language .
Shoes is the most popular toolkit for Ruby. It was created by Jonathan Gillette under the pseudonym why the lucky stiff (short form _why) and published in 2007. After he said goodbye to the project, it was carried on by other developers. Shoes runs on common operating systems (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux). It makes the creation of graphical user interfaces easy. With Shoes, not only is it easy to create graphic elements such as buttons and input fields, but you can also display graphics such as circles, triangles and other shapes.
Sample program
Here is an example program:
Shoes.app :title => "Knöpfe" do
@note = para "Bis jetzt wurde noch nichts gedrückt"
button "Drück mich" do
@note.replace "Aha! Der Knopf wurde gedrückt!"
end
end
