great course. very easy to follow. a few things are different because I'm on Stencyl 4.02 but still very easy to figure out the differences.
A good and one of a kind course, hard to find this on Internet! Thank you.
Enjoying it very much. would be nice to have more courses on some of the other smaller apps too eg. GDevelop, RPG Maker VX ace, Gamesalad ect. Maybe even a scratch course for kids...
It doesn't explain certain points about the why in stencyl.
It was boring *sigh* and I did not understand all of it.
for someone who has struggled with understanding stencyl prior to these lectures, I am glad that stencyl programming has been demystified.
havent really done anything so i dont really now anything
Easy to follow, with good concepts, but it deals specifically with a very limited game, it could look at a larger range of games to give a greater understanding of both the software and the concepts of game design.
The videos are easy to follow and you can easily create this game
Great course overall. Teaches about the basics of game programming algorithms that you can use on other engines too.

Great information, chilled, laidback delivery. The instructor knows his stuff, only let down was that, the resources did not work on any version of stencyl for me.
