The Long-Awaited Springin’ Book

The long-awaited Springin' book! I got it from Shunsuke, the developer!

Although the tagline is “Learn to program and make games,” the great thing about Springin is that you can enjoy the pure joy of creating without even thinking about “programming” at all!

The other day, at the request of a reporter, I went ahead and gave a demonstration of Springin—something Shunsuke should have done—and the reporter said they were shocked by the gap between what they had imagined “programming” to be and the reality.

In fact, I’ve even seen kids who said, “Programming isn’t really my thing…” enjoying Springing without even realizing it was programming (*^^*)

Get a copy of this book and give it a try!
