You do all the drawing yourself, it doesn't add another layer as such to that, it just helps with scheduling background tasks, keeping a smooth time stepping, sounds, etc. It's very buggy though, with very little documentation and no tests…but please do check it out if you're thinking about creating a Canvas based game soon, it's not that complicated! :)
(btw, it doesn't require Ruby, I just use sinatra to serve all the files easier!)
... and the app just exceeded its quota.
Quote resolved, server back up!

Also: Puzzle Quest 2 is out now! I've been playing it on DS :)
He's great, I'm a big fan of his.
