FFI (Foreign Function Interface) is something that many languages (including ruby) have, and it allows you to interface with programs or libraries made in compiled languages, such as C/C++. It'd be most helpful for integrating other libraries, either by myself or others, into a game (the most common use case I can think of is integrating ffmpeg, although that would probably be a bit much for XP).
Modern RPG Maker supports this by accident in the form of WebAssembly, and as I just linked, there does exist an FFI system for Ruby, in the form of the "ffi" gem. My question is, is it possible to use this gem with RPG Maker XP? Has anyone tried?
