the code is cluttered, the video is not smooth with clearly distinctive cuts during lessons, obsolete js version used, a lot of refactoring need to bring it up to ES6 and make it look clean & neat

Great project to develop and learn JS from scratch making something really fun! Didn't like very much the final lesson though, the addition of the 2nd ghost was kinda a mess, but it's still a great project for begginers

This is a cute and short course about recreating Pacman using JavaScript and HTML5 elements, primarily canvas. Yes, you can use this course as a way of building up some of your niche JS skills but you do need to have some prior knowledge. I get the impression that the instructor focuses more on the quantity of courses under his name than the quality because there was no planning involved. He just starts typing it out and then tinkers along the way. Just by using the commenting system he could have made it a lot better and more structured. Even though this is a fairly simple example, there is a clique of game developers who create amazing games that are built solely with HTML5 and JS.

so far so good. everything is clear and understandable even for beginners. Pace is also set for beginners.

I like how the functions are explained so that the person watching can understand why something is done and not just that it is done.

The "teacher" actually teach nothing, he uses functions without explain what are they doing(e.g. body.appendChild). Moreover, he does not explain how to use the program(Brackets) properly, and you need to figure out how to see two files at once one above the other, and how to load what you have wrote to the browser.

Awesome course with awesome understanding of the concepts. It's really step by step procedure of learning. I like that

This course assumes previous knowledge of JS so it doesn't waste time getting you familiar with JS. The instructor doesn't dive into the code and explain what the code does, it would be great if that is done. so I can't give it full 5 stars but great course.

All classes were good but I think that the code must be refractored "a bit" :) Thanks you very much for your classes!

Very Good course. A little complicated in the Key code section, but I don't have a deep background in the Dom or Javascript or game development. It serves you to get your feet wet.

He knows what hes doing, but the title says step by step. not assume everyone knows this, okay hit the ground running. Slow down. My page of brackets look nothing like his.

This course is about functionality, not just a game. For me (a lower intermediate level), I learned many concepts of functionality I could not have thought of (on my own). For me, this course has a good challenging level of complexity. This course has one large script, and takes a fair amount of studying (& commenting) to absorb (which is normal for real world scripts). I recommend this course.

Well-structured and clearly explained as always; appreciate the short individual lessons that actually make it easier to sit with the course for longer periods of time. Thank you.
