This was very educational and relatively easy to follow. An older course but still very relevant.

It's to detail. Nice lectures. But not up to date, so that little confusing while using with the new corona, especially for the beginners like me. Thank You.

Covers a lot of the required functionality to get going, only dropped half a star due to the fact he glosses over some chunks of code without explaining it due to the math involved.

There's some good content in the course that is useful to learn for Corona game development, but the resource files are no use to follow along because they seem to be the code in its finished form for each chapter. So if I want to follow along I need to open the code and then manually remove certain parts so I can follow along, but obviously I don't know what to remove. The project is not continuous so it's not clear if I can just use the code from the chapter before last or not.
