Originally a rushed manual for a weekend workshop of 40 people, I've expanded this book to include more pictures and diagrams to make it easier for beginners to grasp basic game concepts.

This book is free to read online and download. The sample is also the complete book if you don't like giving away your email address (you won't get news updates via email, though). Purchasing the book is optional, but would be greatly appreciated as purchases will allow me to spend more time writing books like these.

2014-12-22 Update - Book now includes a quick and dirty video walkthrough to celebrate its entry to the top 100 downloaded books in Leanpub. Non-buyers can watch them on Youtube.

I'll make a much better version later if I have time, but that package won't be free.
