Note, the article says “DragonRuby Game Toolkit is free the next few days” - but this article is more than the few days old; the product page states:
> This sale ended October 10th 2024.
True, however there's also this on their website, which seems pretty generous:
You are eligible for a free license if any of the following items pertain to you:
* Your income is below $2000 (USD) per month.
* You are under 18 years of age.
* You are a student of any type: traditional public school, home schooling, college, bootcamp, or online.
* You are a teacher, mentor, or parent who wants to teach a kid how to code.
* You work/worked in public service or at a charitable organization: for example public office, army, or any 501(c)(3) organization.
* Just contact Amir at ar@amirrajan.net with a short explanation of your current situation and he'll set you up. No questions asked.
