Once everything is installed you can open a terminal in the same folder as the .exe and use the command "ruby RubyDungeon.rb" to execute it... Again I didn't test it so no guarantee it'll work on Linux but it might.
WARNING : Windows defender will likely get a false positive from the game
This is due to the library I use to create the .exe file (ocran) that apparently make it so the .exe has to download and install the compiler my game use, so the game can work without having to download and install it yourself manually before playing (and Windows defender do not like that at all).
To not simply take my word when I say that this game is safe, you can verify it yourself as the game's code is entirely open source on my Git Hub here : https://github.com/Bruoche/Ruby-RPG
Here you can therefore review the code for any risk yourself and even make your own executable via the Readme's instructions (granted you're techy enough to install the required dependencies and run it).
Alternativly, a thourough virus scan of the files should show a normal activity coming from the game.

For those wanting to play it on linux, you need to install ruby and a few dependencies :
and then you can run the game (like op said) using :
ruby RubyDungeon.rb
Do you know if there is anyway to run this on linux ?
Sorry I don't have linux so don't know how to make an easy launch executable of the game for it...
On the other hand you should be able to manualy launch it in command line if you install the Ruby compiler following their doc : https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/
You will also need to install the dependancy packages, I think it should just be those two (but I haven't yet verifyed on a fresh install which are needed so don't hesitate to tell me if an error arise) :

really liking the rough, grimy look of the ascii graphics here, will be following this one
Thank you so much! I felt the hazy ascii fitted the vibe I wanted well too :)

At least, that's the likely explaination given in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ruby/comments/nioqku/my_ruby_game_is_getting_false_posi...
