Great course overall, although some of the instructions could be clearer, and maybe increase the difficulty a bit? Still very fun to learn though!

I think it dropped you straight into the deep. I feel like there could be more explanation to pygame.Velocity, and perhaps a version that can be properly used on windows without having to use WSL.
