Looks great! I think it would add greatly if you have a chapter that illustrates the development of a simple game where many of these ideas are illustrated.

I teach coding to high-school kids. When I tell them that "We'll be building a game" attention increases exponentially; unfortunately I know nothing about how to program anything beyond simple board games, e.g. tictactoe. I can totally use ideas from your book in my course.

Also, many of the students are also in the school's FIRST Robotics Team. I noticed that programming the robot and game programming are quite a similar (at a high level). So this might help with that, too.

Thanks a lot once again, I entered my email and will definitely be following along.

You might be interested in StoneSoup, a project a friend of mine developed for teaching his week long Intro to Video Game Programming for middle school and high school students. Most of the students have little to no prior programming experience, and by the end of the week they have several games in Processing which they can call their own.
