Last time I posted here I was delightfully surprised at the assistance I got. I made a text game on my TI-83+ in high school and figured it would be a good learning experience to recreate that in ruby. I figured I could expand quite a bit from a calculator. I own both "Programming Ruby: From Beginner to Professional" and the Pickaxe. I've reached a point where things are just way to messy and decided I was going to redo the whole thing. Problem is I cant really find a better way to do it. I am hoping to get some suggestions on general technique as well. I really need to find some sort of guide about commenting to, as you can tell.
