changing name to lubyk

The name of the whole project has been changed from “Rubyk” to “Lubyk” for the following reasons:

• The first version of the project used Ruby as scripting language but for real-time performance reasons, this is no longer the case. Keeping a name with “Ruby” in it that has nothing to do with the now well known Ruby programming is confusing.
• Everyone things of the Rubik’s cube when they hear “Rubyk” and although the little object is great, it makes people spell the project wrong.

The new name is Lubyk because:

• It sounds like fad in french.
• The name reminds us of the Lua programming language (now at the core of the running engine).
• We keep most of the letters that I liked in Rubyk (y and k especially).
• The DNS names were free (lubyk.org, lubyk.com)

What does the name stand for ? Here are some retronyms:

• Lunatic bumby yack
• Lua based yield killer
• Lua’s unusual binary you kiss (or ‘kiffe’...) (Philippe Lhoste)
