I'm reading this book and I had found a lot of error (why they didn't read the book before to sell it?)
I think that I'm not the only one who's reading this book so maybe we can share our experience to finally manage to read the book without any fear...
I read the first 189 page and i found two problem.
The first was about the character movement. Solution: use the script that you can found Here
The second problem is about spawn the coin in chapter 7:
The coin don't want to "reborn" the problem is about the position.
In spawn function the startPosition variable in setPosition create a problem infact if we change the parameters of %this.setPosition with some real number all'thing work.
Have you found some error?
If you'll post it I'll ad the problem to the main post.

I just bought this book last night at B&B. Was it a mistake? Now that I've been reading all these threads about all the errors in the book I'm begining to wonder if I've wasted my money. Does anyone know why this book was allowed to be published?

If I remember correctly, the author told me in an email the publishers didn't include the final code in the book -- and until people started complaining to him he had no idea. =:)

I'm pretty sure all the bugs that keep things from working are fixed in the code on our TorqueNation website -- I still think the book is good, just make sure you grab the changes from my web site.If I remember correctly, the author told me in an email the publishers didn't include the final code in the book -- and until people started complaining to him he had no idea. =:)

The book is good, but the bugs are many.
