It's a good course, learning quite a lot of stuff when one is a beginner. However, the point and click shooting experience is awful. The instructor never goes on a full level play to see the difficulty the player faces when turning and shooting near corners. I can be looking left and shooting at a corner on my right, if I'm lucky enough to quickly place my mouse cursor there. Also, they never implement a weapon change system through input (keyboard or mouse, I guess) and rely on pickups for weapon change. 5 stars for learning when one is starting, but definitely nowhere near for the delivered product. I'm not sure that the instructor likes playing these kinds of games.

The resulting project created in this class is entertaining. Pete does a great job of explaining how to create games of this type. I have taken some of his other classes and each one always has something exciting and new to learn just like this one.
