Because of my busy schedule, IΒ will not be able to maintain or support this course. Udemy requires that video content must be under 2 hours to make a course free. So IΒ have unpublished most of the videos to satisfy the requirements. Please see my youtube channel for all lecture videos. Youtube Channel: @longnguyen8112

Learn how to code Arcade games in Python! We will use the Python Arcade Library to code games. Arcade is a very easy to use library. It is more intuitive, requires less boiler-plate code and more Pythonic than Pygame. The library has many contributors on Github and is actively maintained with almost daily updates.
Learn to code the following games:
1) Tank Attacks: A top-down tank shooting game.
2) BrickΒ Breaker: Classic brick breaker game.
3) Platformer Game: A Mario-like side-scrolling platformer game(side scrolling, with climbing ladders and moving platforms). This game is written from scratch; we implement all of the platformer collisions and resolution without using any physics library.
4) Tetris.
And more to come soon!
