The camp was really enjoyable and informative. I learnt a lot throughout the week and had a lot of fun along the way. The course is well structured but the way it suggests to write the code can sometimes be a little clunky, however Lem was an amazing teacher, helping out with this. Overall, I think

There are several methods of writing code. I hear that Lem, your tutor, preferred another method so am delighted that you were taught both methods.

It was a very good camp to learn the basics of python game coding and the methods that they teach you can be used in a lot of different scenarios, for example for loops, white loops something for a set amount of time. It was a bit slow at the beginning but that was because it was covering all of the

I found this course challenging. However, it was explained well by the tutor and I usually found it enjoyable. However, at times, it could become a little boring and repetitive. However, I enjoyed a lot and would do it again if I had not done it before.

A bit of a slow start as Jamie had already worked with Python. But after initial 2 sessions he found it really good. Worked well doing half a day over 2 weeks worked well.

The course was overall quite good because it taught many parts of python and all in an entertaining way. These included allowing for customization for the enemies and ships as well as adding functions not included in the standard game. This created a game that felt like your own game and not just on

The majority of the course was good and I learnt a lot from it. However, there were a lot of applications to install and some took a long time to install. I enjoyed creating my own sprites and sounds and the course was easy to follow.

The course was really fun! We got to learn how to make games and got an insight to game-making. We made a spaceship shooter game which is very fun. We learned lots of new techniques in python that may help us in our future. Altogether it was a very fun course

This pygame course was difficult but taught me a lot of meanings and left me with pages of code i can reference back on. It taught us how to solve some common errors and by the end on the extensions we did some interesting stuff like making our own sprites, backgrounds and our enemies to shoot. It w

Very good. I learnt lots and my game result was really good and it was fun. The tutor was very good, but he didn't offer extra lessons which other tutors have.

Great that you had fun whilst learning. Our additional sessions are to support students who have found a concept challenging, you obviously sailed through the content on this camp which is why no additional sessions were required - well done :)

I wanted to give it a 3.5- There was not an option. The first day was filled with recapitalisation that I found extremely useful and easy to follow. Over the next days we zoomed through making a basic game, we were ahead of the schedule-however I wished we went a tad slower as I would of liked some

I enjoyed this a lot over the last 2 weeks and it was a very welcome distraction from the boredom of the Covid 19 self-isolation period. However having experienced both daytime camps and virtual ones, I prefer the daytime ones as internet doesn't always work to well.
