About the Author

Hi, I’m Jeffery Miller, a game developer based in Australia with a deep-rooted passion for mobile game programming. My fascination doesn’t stop there—I absolutely love the retro 80s computer game scene and the homegrown, ‘homebrew’ game companies that flourished during that time.

I specialize in Codea Lua, App Game Kit Basic, and Monkey-X/Cerberus-X Basic. I’m largely self-taught and have committed myself to simplifying game programming for newcomers and hobbyists. My eBooks, games, and tutorials are designed to be both technically sound and creatively inspiring, aiming to make the art of game development accessible to everyone.

I’m especially enthusiastic about sports games, and I’m always exploring ways to combine this love with my knack for coding. I believe in the power of community, online forums and social media to share insights, tips, and resources in the field of game programming.

With ‘Skater Boy,’ I invite you to join me in this thrilling journey into the world of mobile game development. Inside, you’ll find a practical, hands-on approach to mastering Codea Lua and creating your own game.
