I am a complete beginner to programming, and I found the instructor moved way too fast once the section on the Pokemon Puzzle Game started. He just writes lines and lines of code without really explaining what he is writing. Interestingly, when I loaded up his code of the Pokemon game and ran the program: the text was in Chinese - so did he just rip off someone else's game? I do not recommend this course. I hope to find a better one teaching pygame - as learning pygame was what I came here for.

El material del cursos está disponible en la sección de "Recursos". La pronunciación del inglés del profesor es bastante buena, es díficil encontrar cursos donde el profesor hable bien el inglés, 5 estrellas por eso.

I really like the way you explain, sometimes I get a bit lost because of the unexpected video cuts, but so far I have understood everything he has explained and I am looking forward to continue watching the course.

The most important stage of all, how to get Python to work on Eclipse, the IDE of the course (Lecture 4) does not work. Eclipse (4.21.0) fails to install PyDev! Too casual instruction on this crusial step of the entire course.

This is the most complete course for those who want to learn how to make games with pygame. the instructor's explanations are quite clear and complete, he literally explains every line of code and this feature make you understand what are you doing and why. I had fun with this course and now I'm ready to make my own games. I recommend this course for every single person who aspires to become a game developer. you won't regret by investing in this course.

I'm adjusting my rating due to several reasons, 1. In the video series for skier, he doesn't tell the viewer that they have to put a double underscore eg: __ before and after the init's when creating and dealing with sprites. Also hasn't answered a single course Q&A as far as I can see and hasn't responded to personal questions I have posed regarding the learning material and problems I have encountered during my learning.

The only bad thing is the format of the video, it does not allow to visualize clearly the source code.
