    Sample chapters look amazing! Would get it if I weren't still saving up for my GS license. I really am interested in the math chapters...

    I'm surprised that so many people are interested in the math chapter. I felt that I was taking a big risk by putting the math section so early in the book. Heh, now it's starting to seem like I should have called the book... MATH: and a little program called GameSalad

    Ha! I'm interested in the rest of the chapters too, but particularly those. I'm sure some of us would like a sample math section... :)

    I'm getting some concern about Google Checkout. It seems that some customers prefer PayPal.

    You can order the printed book through lulu with PayPal...

    I just ordered it from your site using google checkout. When can i expect to receive the PDF.
    For fun, i also clicked on every ad on your page!

    Just a quick thought... since the PDF is under constant revision, do the people who purchased early get to 'update for free'? :) And is there a process by which they will be informed? Like some opt-in newsletter list or something. ^_^

    Don't do that. If you see an ad that interests you, that's cool. But if you're just clicking to get me money, that's unethical. It could also result in Google not paying me the AdSense money that I earned...

    Here's an example of my AdSense fun...

    All orders are up-to-date, are you still having trouble getting your PDF?

    The people who purchased the PDF version have access to the download. When the book is updated, I'm planning to update the file. I'm not sure how much updating I'm going to do. I'm so tired right now. This has been a lot of work. The printed version can't be updated... obviously. The printed version is more of a convenience, for people that don't like to read from screens.

    Thank you. I am working hard... heh... I'm so tired! Also, the PDF price was intentional. 1998 is the year I started Photics.com.

    Wow, it doesn't work in South Korea? Was this through Google Checkout or Lulu? Do you want to mail a check for $19.98 to order the PDF?

    I'm willing to order, of course! But I don't know about the pay method as I usually use credit card... Can you show me how to????? Oh and it was through Google Checkout...

    It seems that Google Checkout doesn't support South Korea. Well, there are two options. You can try ordering a printed copy, which is more expensive, especially for International customers...

    http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-unofficial-gamesalad-textbook/12183604

    ...or you could send an International Money Order to my mailing address. I'm not sure how you would go about doing that from South Korea. Here in the United States, I could just go to the post office to get one.

    OK. I'll try money order. So where can I find your address? or Would you send me an email?

    Awesome! That's much easier! Lulu packs the book really nice too. It feels special when it arrives... the smell of fresh cardboard... I'm waiting for my printed copy to arrive too.

    That depends. I don't know your real name. There's one order that's stuck, but all of the others are clear.
