Quick question...

[Jernau Gurgeh]

Hi. Is there a simple way to retrieve the verts of a given Shape::Poly (their positions relative to Space, or - at least - to Body to which the Shape is bound)? I'm trying to slap together some sort of sandbox app in Ruby+Gosu+Chipmunk, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of documentation for Ruby API going around. Any suggestions?

I guess I wasn't really planning on adding one, though it wouldn't be hard to do. I could make accessors for them, but setters are out of the question unfortunately.

Are you using OpenGL? You could just compile a display list at the same time that you create the shape. That's what I've done on occasion.

Accessors (readers - to be precise) are just what I need. Maybe my approach is totally wrong, but I thought it could be useful (for prototyping purposes, for instance) to be able to draw an object just by iterating through its verts and plotting lines between them.

Since this is one of my first experiences with graphics programming, and because I do it strictly for fun - I am NOT using OpenGL, no sir - I use Gosu. No display lists for me

Thanks a lot.
