Do Re Mi

Well, I couldn't think on a better title for this. Ok, that is a obvious lie, surely I could say...brief note, short notice or even I'm here to say that I'm going to post not only in Portuguese but also in English. But I couldn't make it somehow related to music, you know, maybe using a ~ or some symbol. 

Well, considering that I'm going to study Ruby on Rails to develop a AI for my game (RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, Fire Emblem, Shinning Force...), I guess that experience should be shared. For example, today I searched AI algorithms implemented on Ruby and found two libs (or gems) that should keep me busy for awhile: ai4r and english. English (english.rubyforge.org) is a text/language processor while the ai4r (ai4r.rubyforge.org/) is a collection of AI algorithms, im my case I'm interested on the Neural Net implementation and Genetic Algorithm. Because of my MSc. in Computer Science, I guess I'm going to search for algorithms related to Bayesian Inference. Also, I found some APIs that integrate video to Ruby but for now I'm not interested in working using ffmpeg. For now I'm going to stick with  VLC and control it remotely using a telnet interface, in the same way I used on my project. 

I know what you going to say, I'm trying to grab a lot of eggs with only two hands but my intention is clear: I want to know how good ruby on rails can be and for that I want to compare with things that I know best.  =)
