如果有人想看看整个创作过程是怎样的，Steam 上有一款叫《The Making of Karateka》的“游戏”，是一部非常棒的互动式体验作品，讲述了乔丹·麦克纳初入游戏行业的故事以及《空手道》（Karateka）是如何诞生的。它包含大量可玩的游戏原型，是非常有趣的富媒体体验。
If anybody wants to see how that entire creative process went, there's a "game" called "The Making of Karateka" on Steam that is a nice interactive experience telling the story of Jordan Mechner's start in the games industry and how Karateka came to be. It's a fun media experience with a lot of playable prototypes.
这本书棒极了，一定要顺带把讲他上一款游戏的《The Making of Karateka》也看了。这两本书我都读了四五遍，基本上每当我对自己做（非游戏领域的）独立开发者（indie developer）产生怀疑时，每年都会拿出来重读一遍。
The book is awesome, make sure to read also Making of Karateka, about his previous game. I read both books 4 or 5 times, basically once a year everytime I start having doubts about being indie (non-game) developer.
