I may actually be able to program on my own when this class is over very cool, and everything is explained in a way an eight-year-old could(probably) understand. :)

I'm glad I only paid the holiday rate for this class. Too many important concepts are not explained. The Pacman Game was impossible to follow. I do wish he could have explained the bitwise operations used for encoding the board in the levelData array. That alone would have been most valuable information in creating future games. I probably spent an hour googling bitwise applications with limited success. Unfortunately, I lost him at video 53 and could not find my error, so I had to resort to copying almost all of the Resources code. Brick Breaker and Snake were pretty good (not terrific) and I hope to return to them to add some of my own ideas. The Basics was useless, but I watched it at 1.5x just to make sure I didn't miss something. If you don't already know the basics, this course will be even more frustrating. Buy it on sale and let it wait until you're ready. Everything said, I bought the next class on sale - hoping the explanations will be better.

This course helped me in removing my fear from game development. It also gave me a great idea about what game development is and about GUI. I was really terrified of listening this words before. Thanks a lot Martin

This dude either doesn't understand or cant explain the majority of his source code. He explained a large chunk of the final project wrong. There are much better courses out there, dont waste your money on this one.

The course is absolutely not for beginners. Java Basics are shortly explained, without real Code examples. It is ok for those who already have some experience in programming and want to refresh their knowledge. The explanation of the gameprogramming is poor.

The basics of JAVA laid out well. When getting to the meat of the course it is hard to follow with the errors. Explanations are not as detailed as the course continues. Will get back on it, moved on to another course before returning to finish this.

Es mi primera experiencia con cursos de este tipo, creo que mi opinión va a tener mayores fundamentos al avanzar en este curso y tomar mas. Prontamente puedo decir que es super interesante y muy grata la cantidad de información que se dictan en estos cursos

I think this instructor is not very professional and some part does not expalin so well. For example, map.map is literraly a bad given name and the real logic is object name map call the field map. Hope he can improve

I am really enjoying creating the game, however sometimes the instructor goes quite and I can hear typing but nothing coming on the screen, so I assume he is checking something. This course is geared more towards people who have some java knowledge. There is still a lot of good stuff to learn here though.

This course has been very informative. So far, it has helped me review basic concepts of java and I've even learned some new stuff!

The code design isnt that good or clean, and some of the concepts of the game are not explained, like the delay, who calls the paint method and so on..

its really nice to see how things work but it need a little more explaining to the methods and syntax meanings but other wise its good

It is a good start to learn since there will be a source code or example project that we can run and test.
