Is the main benefit to Yeah vs. other frameworks (Gosu in particular) that it compiles to JS? I'm actually weighing game framework options for a project I want to undertake.
Gosu is a library that provides the basic building blocks for a video game, while Yeah is an opinionated framework designed to be fast to build games with. It is similar to Sinatra vs Ruby on Rails.
Yeah is in early development; more time-saving constructs and functionality are in the works (animated sprites, collision detection, touch controls, etc).
Yeah compiles to JS now, though it is platform-agnostic - in the future it will also compile into PC executables and mobile apps.

A major feature of Yeah is a Processing/HTML5 Canvas-like drawing API. http://rdoc.info/github/yeahrb/yeah/9f065a6/Yeah/Display

Great, thank you for the write-up. I'll definitely have to take a look.
