"Gamification" gem? [closed]

Question

Does anyone know of a "gamification" gem? I'm looking for something that can provide the functionality that you would find from Badgeville, BigDoor, Bunchball, etc. It seems like those platforms, outside of analytics and in some cases, a simple setup process for creating virtual rewards, don't offer a whole lot that you couldn't build yourself if all your need is a to create a simple event-based reward system.

If anyone knows of any gems, or plugins that provide a setup for adding virtual rewards and "gamification" to your Rails site, let me know!

Answer 1

I've released my own open source gamification gem for RoR applications that uses Active Record, you should take a look, it's really easy to use, it's name is Gioco.

Here is the GitHub: https://github.com/GiocoApp/gioco I have a post about it too: http://www.sitepoint.com/gioco-the-gamification-gem/

Gioco also has a SaaS version (http://gioco.pro) with client gem to setup into Rails applications and a Heroku Add-On to support it (http://addons.heroku.com/giocopro).
