Hi, I stumbled on you because of a mod comment. When faced with visual editors, I was frustrated because I wanted to better understand what was going on and how things worked. I see this book is not available, but do you have any advice for someone who would like to learn the nuts and bolts of game programming as a hobby? I've been trying with JS because I found an explanation I liked. Also, I imagine you are too busy, but you seem exactly the sort of person we like on our creative server https://discord.gg/FADSj49eSB If you are interested, we'd love to have you.

Thanks for the comment! I'm in too many Discord servers already. Not sure what to recommend, we're all different. I started with HTML5 too, but if anything it was PyGame that taught me a lot about the nuts and bolts -- the concept of a game loop, for one thing. But you seem to be doing well so far! And you're right, I don't sell the book here anymore, but it's available elsewhere online. Hope this helps!
