What will you learn?
Build a clone of the classic Asteroids game using Pygame and object-oriented programming concepts. This guided project will help you understand how to use Pygame to create a game loop, handle user input, and manage game state. You'll also learn how to use object-oriented programming to create game objects and manage their interactions.

Cool project, I feel like they give you too much 'pre-made' code though and don't explain enough of it.

A great step forward into a mythical game project. It's really satisfying and I truly enjoyed.

I learned a lot, but we skipped a lot of steps. This course could have been three times a long and taught us all PyGame. I don't feel that I really understand the theory behind the sprite objects.
