very inclusive, you don't just sit back and relax you follow along, type it in, and practice, you learn a lot in that space of time, nice course it did have its fair share of problems like audio that cuts out, and sudden quality drops, but it was good, made me use my brain a lot more.

Yes. This is a good match for me because I am a retired and want to code games for seniors. Learning code is difficult but this course gives you step by step.

I liked the course and explained concepts really well, but I feel like there should be more projects, and that we should learn using an actual text editor.
