I absolutely loved Don't Wait!: Build Retro Games and Level Up Your Skills! It completely changed my perspective on Retro Games. At first I wasn't sure about Programming for Beginners, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Game Development is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Creative Coding. What I appreciated most was how the book made Beginner Game Design feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Don't Wait!: Build Retro Games and Level Up Your Skills offers a compelling take on Retro Games, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Programming is excellent, I found the sections on Game Design Basics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Creative Coding that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Game Development more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Beginner Game Design will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Arcade Development, if not the definitive work.
