Author here, this is a book I've been writing in the past few months about my favourite game-making framework of yet - a port of the excellent flixel framework for Haxe.
I used it to make a few windows and android games and found the development process very rewarding.
HaxeFlixel 4.0.0 came out just a few weeks ago and it's a massive update with lots of improvements - great time to start making games if you ever wanted to experiment with this field.
