2nd para, line 3

You have a link to a bit of code, when in fact you were trying to show the code itself (code is missing at this point).

Note from the Author or Editor:
That example is actually in the Appendix. I've clarified.

1st para, line 2

You have "+and +previousY" (all bold), looks like you should have "and previousY" with just "previousY" in bold.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Typo. Fixed.

2nd para, 2nd last line

You ask the reader to "check out Chapter 9 if you don't remember that discussion". Seems odd, coming in Chapter 2. This may be the product of an earlier version of the book??

Note from the Author or Editor:
Clarified the language. Example is actually in the Appendix.

last para, 2nd line

You mention to take a look at a sketch in Chapter 9. This seems to be a long way through the book for a reader of Chapter 2 to reference. I wonder if this is a sentence left from an earlier draft?

Note from the Author or Editor:
Example is actually in the Appendix. Clarified.

code sample, 3rd last line

the line of pseudocode is too long to display and needs to be broken down.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Width of code formatting goes wider than page in PDF. Gets cutoff. Inserted line breaks.

3rd para, line 5

line starts "to access to the data..." This should read "to access the data..."

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thanks! Fixed.

Code example at bottom of page

// only update image position
// if image is in moving state
if(imageMoving){
image1X = interpolatedX;
image2Y = interpolatedY;
}
//draw the image on the screen
image(image1,image1X,image1Y);

Should read:
image1Y = interpolatedY;
not image2Y...

Note from the Author or Editor:
This was a typo in the reproduced section of code. image2Y should have read image1Y.

1st new paragraph

The book reads:

Here?s the code. It may look long, but it?s actually mostly identical to our advanced
drawing app. As usual, I?ve written comments on all the new lines.
inlcude::code/ex10_basic_minority_report/ex10_basic_minority_report.pde[]

But there is no code or link provided to ex10_basic_minority_report.pde

Note from the Author or Editor:
There was a typo in the "include" directive. Fixed and pushed to the repo.
