Game Programming with Python, Lua, and Ruby Review by Elizabeth Buckwalter
Why 3 languages?
I had assumed that I would be reading a book about combining the 3 languages to create a game. First I wanted to know why. I was distracted by the Pygame section, as I've been reading Beginning Game Development with Python and Pygame: From Novice to Professional. In comparing just the Pygame coverage, Beginning Game Development with Python and Pygame is 20x better. There is no reason to have Game Programming with Python, Lua, and Ruby. There isn't sufficient enough coverage on any one language to get a grasp, and if you're already familiar with one or all of the languages, you have to wade through all the newbie stuff to get to the meat. Where is the bibliography? The author describes several facts with no evidence such as a bibliography would provide.
