## What it is
Ruby Warrior is a terminal-based game that teaches the Ruby programming language by having players write Ruby scripts to guide a warrior through tower levels. Players implement a play_turn method to battle enemies, rescue captives, and climb stairs while learning Ruby syntax and logic.
