Doesn't seem like the voice over is a coder, they are using a lot of extra words that seem to be part of a script but not part of the actual coding process. I wanted to take a course from a coder, not an actor.

Fácil de entender, las lecciones son interesantes, pero suficientemente cortas para no aburrir. al principio da un buen repaso a las opciones de pygame y pone ejemplos. Además proporciona el código fuente de los ejercicios. Aunque al final se vuelve un poco repetitivo es una lastima que siendo un curso sobre pygame, se centre más en el diseño de juegos que en explorar y profundizar todas las opciones del pygame. Tengo la impresion de que al final solo se lo básico sobre el uso de pygame a pesar del nombre del curso
