Sometime back I was trying to buy Raph Koster’s A Theory of Fun for Game Design. It’s been sold out at every book store I’ve visited, including Amazon. Hopefully a new printing will be made soon.
While looking at the website, I noticed I could order the book through O’Reilly.com. It didn’t say it […]
The Guardian’s Lindesay Irvine expressed reservations about best-selling author James Patterson’s move into computer games. Apparently Patterson is planning on working on games that will appeal to his current audience: women and middle-aged people. Irvine just can’t fathom the idea of these people going out “to buy PlayStations and get their thumbs around the controls”. […]
The other day I was thinking about Zorro. Frankly, I love stories about Zorro and The Three Muskateers. I have only recently started playing Dungeons and Dragons, and when I created my character, I decided that he should be a fighter with high dexterity and speed. He also gets a cloak and […]

It is part of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of books. I actually finished listening to the audiobook Rich Dad, Poor Dad before reading this […]
In January I started to keep track of the books that I read. I have been keeping a simple text file with the books I am currently reading and a list of books that I have finished reading. I even started to track the number of weeks that have gone by and also […]
I recently read Write Portable Code by Brian Hook. I have to say that it was a nice introduction to what you need to worry about when writing code.
I didn’t pay attention to the fact that it was supposed to be an introduction, and at one point I was concerned that it was too […]
I recently bought and received Write Portable Code by Brian Hook of Book of Hook fame. As I intend to make my games playable on multiple platforms, I need to learn how to not only write good software but also write good portable software. I believe that this book can be invaluable […]
