Description
I have done so many of the regular projects out there, such as a tic tac toe, chess, hangman, asteroids, connect 4 etc, but all of these projects felt small and I found there to not be much variety when it comes to game tutorials.
Most tutorials all cover the same games, with only variations in how they are coded. I also found that most tutorials, do not go through every element of a game, such as the start screen, all of the power ups, the score screens, etc.
They usually only take you as far as the basic building blocks, and then leave you to create the rest, should you wish to continue.
Most of these tutorials, have left me with a directory filled with what would be deemed as unfinished games.
Hence I thought it would be great to put together a course on creating a game, with all of the game elements created and implemented in a step by step process, that leaves you at the end of the course, with a fully functional, and complete game.
My hope is that you are able to understand how each element of this game is created and implemented, so that you gain further insight when deciding to tackle a challenge of your own.
I also find the old games from the 80's and 90's as fantastic coding challenges, in particular when it comes to trying to understand how something may have been implemented.
Who this course is for:
Python Programmers who have an understanding of python basics, but are looking to tackle projects bigger than tictactoe and hangman.

Hi, I am a self taught python programmer and have been practicing my programming skills consistently since July of 2020. Once I had progressed beyond the basic Tic Tac Toe / Hangman / Number guessing etc tutorials. I felt I was still not comfortable with my level of understanding on many python principles and not confident enough to apply my skills on my own. I then began practicing making many of the older video games i played when i was a child. I have found a lot of the older games have challenged my programming skills, and more importantly developed my problem solving skills where i find myself tackling each new challenge with excitement at the prospect of learning a new method or technique. I hope to bring this across in my tutorials, to help any other self taught programmers who consider themselves, as i see myself, an advanced beginner.
