Fast and Furious Game Development with JavaScript and AI (Udemy.com)

Ce cours est très très bien documenté. André est un expert qui délivre beaucoup d'informations, mais beaucoup trop en même temps. On a du mal à le suivre. Les vidéos sont très long ( de 30 mn à pls heures), les outils de l'environnement sont divers, le choix pas aisé. Merci André pour ton effort - j'ai 86 ans et tutoie tout le monde.

André taught me practically everything I know about programming in the 90s with his books and is one of the GOATs in computer science, game programming, software engineering and electrical engineering. I could not buy all of his courses fast enough. You will not find a better or smarter teacher. I can't believe it took me so long to find out about these courses on Udemy.

I took this course just to force some useful practice with JavaScript. I worked a treat. It reinforced the common principles and helped with the repetition of the syntax. The tutor is engaging and very knowledgeable and worked through his own mistakes in real-time. /the gaming principles were very interesting and fun. I will definitely be making some small games in future.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and got so much out of it; I have followed a number of courses on Udemy, and to be honest I have been happy with all of them, but this course and what I have got from it is on another level. First of all the games created are fun in and of themselves, and they make really good coding exercises altering them and making slight corrections and additions. I had used Javascript before, but I really enjoyed that section of the course; it is a really good overview, and I learned a lot of new things and new approaches (both in Javascript and coding generally). The usage of the AI and how to prompt it has opened up so many ideas for me. Using it for similar projects to this course and exploring other coding ideas is excellent, but I have found a lot of the methods in interacting with it apply to many other things too (historical research, business ideas, music, language learning); the processes taught in this course have enabled me to get some brilliant results.

This is the second of Andre's courses I have completed and this course is excellent. Andre goes out of his way to explain things in detail and always answers your questions. Andre's subject knowledge and experience is tremendous. Andre's books and game dev skills have been recommend by people like Steve Wozniak (cofounder of Apple) and Nolan Bushnell (founder of Atari), both of whom wrote forwards to Andre's books on game development, which are included in the course resources for free. The books alone are worth much more than the price of this course. If you are a skilled JavaScript and HTML developer, you can skip forward a little in the lectures. I took the time to go through them all because I felt like I needed a refresher. But if you don't want or need a review, you need to start with Lesson 1 and skip forward. I think Lesson 26 (graphics and animation) is a good place to pick up from.

This course doesn’t deserve less than 5 stars. I mean, his content is priceless. It’s truth that sometimes could be slow but it’s the way that Andre can reach also people than never have been in touch with code, and he warns when advance people should skip some classes. Sometimes could benefit you and sometimes slow down, but it’s undeniable his effort, passion and dedication with his classes and all his students (not only in this course but also in Crash Course Electronic). Thanks Andre for spreading your knowledge with the world and I’m anxious to see the next one you are preparing for next year. It’s dangerous to make a course that involves IA due to his fast evolution, but this course give you more than a good grasp to make your owns videogame even if IA grows more (furthermore, Andre works hard and try to make bonus to not being out of date).

He uses canvas and its 2d context to draw graphics (no WebGL, no shader programs). The first part is a bit boring, but approachable. More than half of the videos is about basic JavaScript. The second part about ChatGPT is not engaging. He shows the prompts that generate basic templates of games, but the final polishing and skinning is done offline. At the end he shows a game and reads through its code. This part is boring as hell

Oh just awesome! I used to program games in basic and loved this kind of stuff, especially the math and the how-to tips and tricks with paint programs and pixel editors. A lot of stuff today is done for you which takes away from the magic. learning how stuff works under the hood brings the excitement back.

Very glad that I found and completed this course. Andre covers a broad range of topics building up to making complete games. The topics are covered in such a way that a beginner would find them approachable, yet those with more experience will still learn something new. The course is a great way to start exploring the use of AI as a coding assistant. I am looking forward to his future courses.

The course is awesome. The content is easy to watch since you don't have to stop to write code during the video or to code along, the code you will find on the resources is more than enough for you to work on, test and tweak. You can jump around the episodes and everything will still make sense, there is always a short intro on what's going on, just keep watching. There is math and physics theory in the course, the useful parts, explained in an easy way, that was delightful to watch, I'm not a math fan but this was really easy to understand, thank you for drawing it :) I've just finished it and my next mini AI game is about to go live.
