I am still relatively new to Ruby and would like to write a program using an interactive shell like interface,meanjng that people type the name of the program "taskflow" and the app starts, putting them into interactive mode. Is there a good framework for it or is it hard to write it myself? If not, any ideas or tips on how to accomplish it?

try typing "irb" on the console. Is that what do you want? I dont think I got your idea :/

@javierojeda sadly no. I want a program similar to irb. I type the name "taskflow" and the program starts a loop taking the input parsing it and associating it to commands and then executing them. After the command has been executed, the program waits for the next user input

@javierojeda here is an example image from a Java framework. http://imgur.com/2FLypAq

Starting the application starts a loop that takes in commands and processes them. Indicated by the custom prompt :) I want to do the exact same thing in Ruby. The program starts, puts out a custom prompt and waits for commands from the user. Is there some framework that offers such a functionality and if not, how can I achieve something like this? Fairly new to Ruby tho. Any help is appreciated.
