At first it was moving fast and didn't appear to have what I was looking for, but after watching it 1/3 of the way through this course is super educational for many different reasons. I like seeing his style with writing code and variable naming conventions. I like seeing all the functions and variables necessary to run this game. It's a good course... gotta follow along. The bonus material is great!

Es un excelente curso, justo estaba buscando algo así de directo para aprender a programar vídeo juegos. Considero que las lecciones podrían ser más independientes una de otra aunque fueran más extensas con apertura, desarrollo y cierre.

I have learned so much from this course, and I believe that there are many resourceful lectures that could definitely help with getting your app out there and generating revenue from it, as well as a thorough explanation of how to build/structure a game app. However, I still do not feel 100% comfortable on the Lua programming language, and by this I mean I did not completely understand why some things were needed or put where they were. This could be learned elsewhere, but I feel like I have to spend more money now in order to learn what I was already supposed to learn in this course, earlier on. BUT, other than that, this is a highly valuable course and I would definitely, 100000% recommend it to anyone who is at least a little experienced in the Lua language.
