It works! As you said, a single ball on the screen. Question 1: what kind of parameters a these: >:x1 => 10, :y1 => 10, >:x2 => 20, :y2 => 20, is it a kind of width/height? which variables point to the center of da ball,? I need it in order to manage its position using the coordinates. Question 2: what method like "repaint()" or "clrscr()" or "cleardevice()" could I use in Ruby to make the ball dissappear? Thanks a lot! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
