Complete these collection of tutorials, in which you build a crab game, adding complexity as you go. Once you have worked through these introductory tutorials (tutorial 2 has a zip file to extract), you will then go back to the textbook and complete the lessons highlighted in blue from Chapter's 2 to Chapter 4. The tutorials give you the basic outline while working through the blue box exercises in the textbook offers you a much more nuanced explanation of what you are doing. In other words, you start by building a "world" then the theory follows in behind.
