Well, Sergio Tapia did it in C#, then supercorey did it in Java. Now, another wrapper around the DreamInCode.net API as been created, only this time, it's been Ruby'd! supercorey actually suggested I make this and, after a few days of procrastination and a few hours of actual work, I got something working. Originally, I was also going to do a 1-to-1 and try to keep the code as much the same as possible so that the APIs would all work the same way, but some of the code just wasn't ruby enough, so I changed it up a bit. There's still a lot similar to the other API wrappers.

The code over at github: https://github.com/aburdette/dicrb

To use it, until I complete some testing and upload it as a ruby gem, you'll need to download the code and build/install the gem locally. Doing that is just running a couple commands from the project directory:

gem build dicrb.gemspec
gem install dicrb-*.gem

Using it is actually pretty straight-forward and I put together an example in the examples directory of the project: https://github.com/a...master/examples

require 'dicrb'

@user = DICRb::Profile.new(12345)

puts @user.name
puts @user.group

@user.comments.each do |c|
    puts "#{c.user.name}: #{c.text}"
end

Nice! I think I'll learn Ruby now just so I can write a sample with this or something. We're gonna need to start a list of DIC API wrappers sooner or later now

Anyways, cool library. If I knew anything about how it worked, I'd fork it.

Cheers! Let's see if anyone finds a use for it.

Nice work, i wrote something in c++ but got over it after a bit. I probably should also stop procrastinating around it

The example does look straight forward indeed. Good job Skaggles
