Version	Location	Description	Submitted By	Date submitted
	12 1st paragraph	Typo in first sentence of first paragraph. "Finally, we print our test on the screen" test should be text.	James Butler	Jul 28, 2012
	19 2nd paragraph	The Guess The Letter example application was not working properly. It was displaying numbers when pressing character keys on the keyboard and always displaying "This is not a number". After much research, I found that the wrong event was being used in the code in the book and in the downloaded version of the code. In the book on page 19, 2nd paragraph, the code listing for the initGame() function, the line "window.addEventListener("keyup", eventKeyPressed, true);" should be "window.addEventListener("keypress", eventKeyPressed, true);" Then the application will work properly, showing the letters for character keys and displaying "Not a number" for other keys!. Note from the Author or Editor: Again, I really appreciate the effort here. Thanks!	James Butler	Nov 25, 2012
Printed	Page 181 2nd paragraph	ball.y += yunits should be changed to ball.y -= yunits, otherwise, if you press up it would go down and up if you press down. Note from the Author or Editor: Thanks. I think that code got placed in the wrong section. It is describing the movement of the ball to the right and down (+x, +y), not the bounce. I've fixed it in the new version. Thanks!
