What do you think? Is there any chance that some day there will be another BYOND book?

Doubtful, keeping it online is a lot more viable, especially since the language is still evolving.

I'd buy the new one.(If it is ever made) I bet there's a few others out there that also would.

I would buy it too, because I don't feel like sitting at a computer 24/7 reading the online one. I think more when I'm away from home or on the patio chilling. =/

It would be easier to have a hard copy of the book in my hands while programming.

Basically this. It's easier for me to think of interesting systems while I'm out and about. I like to refresh my memory by reading the guide, but can't bring myself to read the online guide. Having an actual book to read is preferred.

A bit off topic (apologies), but nice avatar Lige!

I don't know. Might want to talk to Lige or Branks about that one.

I'll take that as a yes i think, Thank you so much, that game is the type of game Byond needs and looked amazing before.

Byond lives for action games where you gain statistics and grow stronger and gain reputation in a permanent online environment in competition with other players.

Nice, I really should have bought one myself.
