I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Quickstart Guide to Game Design, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains Programming made everything click for me. I've been struggling with Educational Games for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about Game Design - it reminded me so much of my own experience with Programming. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

While Quickstart Guide to Game Design makes several valuable points about Interactive Design, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Design Principles seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Project-Based Learning. That said, the sections on Interactive Design are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Creative Programming, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Quickstart Guide to Game Design is a comprehensive exploration of Game Design that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 7 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of Interactive Design is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
