I need some software that will let me write a book with text, code snippets, and pictures. Free is better but I am willing to pay for it too.

LibreOffice and OpenOffice are free word processors. LaTeX is a free typesetting software which is commonly used for math and science textbooks and articles.

I want to help design a "sandpark" MMO. Optional interactive story with quests and deeply characterized NPCs, plus sandbox elements like player-craftable housing and lots of other crafting. If you are starting a design of this type, please PM me. I also love pet-breeding games.

I'm not using it myself, but a friend of mine is doing books editing and he uses some specialised Adobe software for this, he find it superior to all traditional editors (hard to tell for me, but at the first glance it indeed looked more convenient, like ability to save whole chapters in separate files). I don't remember how that software was called (but it should be easy to google). Still, if you are making just one book it might be an overkill...
