Learned very well in this course, and the assignments are challenging enough to reinforce that learning. Boots AI was also extremely helpful when I was stuck.

This is a great course for beginners! I majored in Game Dev in college but didn't focus on the coding aspect really at all. So if you're starting from scratch, give this a shot!
