So I want to become familiar with a language, and I'm looking at learning Ruby since I'll have a use for it dicking around in RPG Maker which I bought nearly a year ago and have never used. I have very basic experience with C++ and Python, and a good understanding of memory structure and the concepts behind how languages work.
How difficult is Ruby to pick up and use for someone with my low experience?
Is Ruby powerful enough to make it worth learning?
Would Ruby suit my intended use of making 2D hobby game projects? If not, which language would you recommend and engine if applicable?
Any resources other than Code Academy that you find helpful?
Thanks /g/

Also, which IDE would /g/ recommend?

Ruby is good for script development, web dev, and fooling around.
Where do you plan on releasing the games?
Android - Use Java
iOS - Objective C / Swift
Web - JS (three.js is a good framework for 3d and pixi.js for 2d)
Desktop - C++ / C#
But in reality just use Game Maker. They are just hobby projects right?

Thanks for the advice, anon.
I did look into game maker, but I do tend to sit down for a while when I start up a project and try to make something a good as I can for the sake of seeing how good I can make something. Game maker just didn't appear to be that flexible though if it ended up being something I really enjoyed making and wanted to branch out on. I also have just been needing to learn a language for a while now anyways so now is as good a time as any.
