Awsome course. Helped me get use to using OOP and really made me want to improve and add things to my project after I was done.

Really fun course! It's super-satisfying to see all the knowledge gained thus far turn into something concrete.

Useful to see a multifile project and how they interact with each other. Also good practice with object-oriented programming. Will probably have to call on Boots for usage of pygame and random libraries. You do get experience with object-oriented programing with inheritance.

I enjoyed this course and feel I learned a lot, but I think this would be better if it was a little longer and had explained things in more detail. Maybe turn it into a course on learning/using pygame and go into that more, rather than writing a lot of the code and doing copy/paste.

Good course. Just the right amount of instruction vs. making you figure it our yourself.
