Hey, I published a book once myself on Amazon (twice actually, one was a lot smaller).
To answer your implicit question for:
Unclear if it's the second "edition" or just "version".
If it is just corrections of errors and minor changes then most likely it is just a revision. Editions are for when a book changes more significantly than that I think, like what happens to textbooks when they change most of the exercises to make college student have to repurchase them for example. Things that cause pages to shift around or change the page count by a lot would also count probably. Maybe it is kind of like the difference between a software patch that makes minor changes vs breaking changes, to make an analogy. I'm no expert though. A more official source on publishing would know better than me of course.
Oh, and so you know, there are also some more technical issues. On Windows I had to manually download the SDL DLLs and move them into the projects directory for it to work. I mentioned that in my review at the bottom. Also, the drawText
function did not respond to the x
coordinate argument and just always drew the text starting at x = 0
. Oh, and I think perhaps the book may have said the wrong corner for where the text box drew relative to. If I recall correctly, the program uses the top left corner of the text box as the origin point but the book said "bottom left" instead. I'm not sure though. I don't remember 100%, could be wrong on that point.
Anyway, hope that helps. Have a great night! 🙂
