Ugh, I'm at my wits end. I've been trying for hours to convert this
simple app to work on Shoes, and I still haven't found a solution, and
I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction on
how to do this.
require 'rubygems'
require 'Linguistics'
# This gem extends the classes. This statement extends them.
Linguistics::use( :en, :installProxy => :en )
# My loop-workings
i = 10
until i < 1
thenumber = gets.to_i
# Changes the number into a form that you would speak
puts thenumber.numwords, "\n"
end
So basically, I type in a number like 36,090 and it returns with
"Thirty-six thousand and ninety'. Using the Linguistics gem. I'm new
to Ruby (and programming in general) and this is my first post to a
mailing list, so bare with me.
Well first of all you will have to create EditBox and TextBlock. Then
create a button passing a block to it. This block should read value of
EditBox.text convert it and store it to TextBlock.text. You should
probably read shoes elements documentation at shoooes.net - shoooes Resources and Information.

This forum discusses "Ruby on Rails", which is Shoes's sibling-rival.
Questions like these need a newsgroup with more responders who know Shoes, such as Shoes's adventurer's mailing list...

I would write a unit test that uses the Linguistics gem directly, without Shoes. That's the most important programming tip you will hear in a long time - to write tests on modules, decoupled from the whole app.
Install ruby itself from a distro, such as the One Click Installer, and learn it independent from Shoes, as you learn Shoes.
And, if you will bear with me here, I must decline your offer to bare with you! (-:
