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 Design Principles 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 Game Development Basics feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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