2.0 out of 5 stars Outdated...not very useful, March 2, 1999

By A Customer

If this were a book based on Java 2, I would give it a higher rating. But this uses Java 1.0, and the code is broken up into many different pieces...far too confusing for me. Also, the book did not really give you any information the first couple of days.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book but obviously very old (Java 1.0), April 3, 1999

By A Customer

I think it's an excellent book, however it's about Java 1.0. Also, it assumes you know nothing about both Java programming and game design in general -- so it is less useful for people with any experience in either.

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of money, July 16, 2000

By A Customer

This book only gives suggestion on improving a game. It does not give you complete code of any class to give you an idea of what the code should look like. It also assumes that you know next to nothing about java, so it spends more time explaining java, then it does with game programming.
