I've been looking at the Ruby equivalent of Love2d called Gosu . Gosu itself doesn't allow manipulation of images (same as love2d) but it _does_ have a neat plugin library called TexPlay that does provide some pretty nice functionality like get_pixel and the drawing of lines, rectangles, polygons, c...
