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

While How To Write Retro Games: Web-Programming makes several valuable points about programming, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of ai seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to compute. That said, the sections on ai are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in graphics, this could be a truly outstanding work.

How To Write Retro Games: Web-Programming is a comprehensive exploration of programming that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 5 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of programming 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 some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
