Quickstart Guide to Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Creative Programming is excellent, I found the sections on Project-Based Learning less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Educational Games that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Design Principles more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Design Principles will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Programming, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Quickstart Guide to Game Design! It completely changed my perspective on Game Design. At first I wasn't sure about Interactive Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Project-Based Learning is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Beginner Coding. What I appreciated most was how the book made Beginner Coding feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
