★★★★☆
Quickstart Guide to Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Programming is excellent, I found the sections on Coding for Beginners 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 Game Development Basics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Interactive Design will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Beginner Coding, if not the definitive work.
