<p>Hi there, <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Many thanks for your feedback Matt!<br>
</p>
<br>
I'm glad it may give you some ideas. I do think that the combination
of static docs and more dynamic tools like code playgrounds (as in
this manual) and videos can work well. <br>
<br>
In this case I used Codepen for part one which I was not totally
happy with, but together with a local volunteer we have found a good
alternative in Glitch. <br>

Thanks<br>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I really love the style
of this text from what I've read so far. I don't really have
the time these days to do a full line edit of the kind you are
requesting, but I wanted to say that I've looked through the
first few chapters and the overall structure (of Part One),
and it seems like a really great style/tone and approach for
your audience (I also get that you're not inventing that
approach whole-cloth, but all creativity involves borrowing
<span>😊)</span>. I am rather an anti-fan of JavaScript
personally, but I certainly acknowledge its essential role in
web apps, and i appreciate all of the platforms now available,
like phaser, as starting points. I definitely appreciate your
general approach to learning game-code.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">As you may recall, I
started my own engagement with the Floss world expressing
great skepticism about the role of static manuals vs video
tutorials, in today's world. That's certainly lessened, to
some degree, after writing/rewriting two Floss manuals and
then all the work I've done more recently for the VA (US Gov't
Dept of Veterans Affairs), which has involved a fair amount of
static guides along with a ton of more dynamic/immersive
eLearning content. But a really engaging writing style seems
crucial to the success of what you're doing especially -- a
static-manual intro to coding -- and I think you've got it. </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Maybe I'll consider
taking my 12-part video series on coding a particular Unity
gaming scenario and redoing it in Floss-land. I dunno. The
static manuals I've seen for Unity have been deadly affairs,
compared to the video tutorials, but your approach gives me
some new ideas.</p>

Yes I was thinking by the end of the month as a
deadline for feedback.<br>
<br>
Then I can try to do a completed draft of the book in
time for a soft<br>
launch at Mozilla Festival at the end of October where
we are doing a<br>
workshop on this.<br>
