Joybox

Introduced at #Inspect 2013, Joybox is the easiest way to build 2D games for iPhones and iPads using RubyMotion. Joybox combines the most popular and widely used 2D game engine for iOS, Cocos2D, folds in the amazing Box2D physics engine, and then wraps them up into a clean Ruby API that will make game development faster and more enjoyable for both beginners and experts alike.

For more information, see the presentation: Cocos2D, an Easier Way.
