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 thi...

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 start of the week was riddled with errors and had less creativity, but it got progressivly better and by the end of the week i would have probably rated it five stars

I enjoyed this course because I have got to go in depth with coding . I think this can help me in my computer science at school because this is complex coding and i will be very confident.

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...

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

It was quite a fun camp and was organised very well, I liked this one more than the python beginner course. And the Tutor (Matthew or Matt ) was very helpful and I think he explained things quite well.

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. I...

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 so...

it was a fun way of learning python and game creation. the pacing can be fast but that is kinda because they need something presentable within 2 weeks so i don't mind

It was good and I got through it well but I think maybe one longer break instead of two short break would better as you can't do much in 15 minutes. The virtual machine disconnected quite often aswell.

At the beginning of the course it was a basic start, this is good as it helped me get the basics of a new language that I have never done before. The amount of content based around the course was alright just needed more topics and extra add ons for the game once made

It was good but we didn't really have enough time. I'm sure that if we weren't in quarantine it would be better

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.
