I’m afraid I don’t know of anything like that, but others may.
Looking at the tool, do you actually find that at all useful? 
It’s
kind of fun, but does it help you to see what’s going on? I wonder if
you’d be better off with a normal graphical debugger (Komodo, for Ruby,
say.). They usually give much the same kind of information about the
virtual machine’s states, but don’t act out an animated story of how
those changes occur.

it’s helpful to see what’s going on. also great for
a quick test of algorithms, it’s like an algorithm theatre

Komodo ain’t free. I’m looking for a free tool.
Are there free graphical debuggers around for ruby ?!

working with eclipse, i know the benefits of a debugger,
but the RDT plugins are not the same level as the JDT yet.

Er, not the same. But if a flow tracer will do (shows all calls,
returns, lines, exceptions etc, plus all locals and all params) then
take a look at Ruby Bug Validator.

That looks pretty cool. Although, it is text based you can use the
ruby tracer tool. Simply run
“ruby -r tracer yourcode.rb”
to see the textual output of what Ruby is doing. If I were to attempt
making Jeliot for Ruby I would probably use this as a base.

Thanks for the tip, but i prefer a free tool,
Open Source if possible.
I have no 299 bucks around
