Conjuration - DragonRuby GTK Framework

Warning

This project is a work in progress and is not yet ready for use.

Conjuration provides foundations for building a game in DragonRuby GTK.

The motivation behind Conjuration is to provide structure and convention to DragonRuby GTK projects, without adding constraints or limiting access to the underlying DR APIs. Think what Ruby on Rails is to Ruby.
