Personal Review: Macromedia Director Game Development:
From Concept to Creation (Miscellaneous) by Epic Software

I just bought this book and have been working through it the past few days.
This book is an excellent source of examples of complete Lingo code. It
contains 15 games on the CD with all of the source code, and the finished
working programs. The real value is not the book itself, but the CD with
the source code! All the book does is give a brief overview of each game.
This book is excellent for intermediate Lingo programmers like myself, not
beginners looking to learn Lingo from scratch. Advanced programmers will
probably find it boring. If you already know the basics of Lingo coding then
this is an excellent book to see working examples of code. I learn best by
seeing how other programmers assemble projects, seeing their code in
action, and evaluating the finished product. Not reading theories and
snippets of code in some 800 page book. Therein lies the value of this
book to me. It doesn't try to educate you on Lingo, it cuts right to the
code.I think the other reviewers did not give this book a fair shake. It
delivers exactly what it states, and I am not a shill working for the authors,
just a beginning Lingo programmer looking for working examples from
which to learn. If you want to see basic Lingo game programming in action
this is an excellent book. If you still need to learn Lingo basics or are
looking for advanced Lingo concepts then buy another book.
