Title: An anectdotal primer
Product review: With the various ways the title can be interpreted it is easyto see why a reader gets miffed if they aren't able to browse it. Codechanges frequently in the industry and many designers wouldn't want to give up their code for a general interest/hobbyist book. . . if there was such a thing it would have to be Game Developer magazine which is more for the experienced programmer than a beginner. This book falls short of its promise though well written. I will file it with my "coffee table section" good for toilet reading , no code, no introduction to games programming basics. It would merely be a supplement to a suite of tools- I believe Electronics Boutique sells it in their Games Programmer box- and that's about all it should be. Not a great introduction to actual game design bordering on a deceptive titling scheme
