About the Course

By the end of this project, you will create a basic game using an introductory, web-based coding program called Scratch. Learning to code will allow you to build basic coding or computer science skills and a fundamental understanding in order to grow your programming abilities. Learners will engage in the design process in order to develop an understanding of how to develop algorithms that control programs, use event-driven programming, and debug a program. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions....

This course was extremely useful. I am glad I found this course online. I feel ready to learn more about game development. I feel Coursera is going to my main source of learning from onwards.

The video tells you how to drag and drop but doesn't explain the basics of how it is going to cause actions. So you are dragging and dropping without knowing the reason why. My "Game" didn't work correctly but I didn't understand how to look for problems to debug as the error was somewhere in the first level. But I didn't even know how to go back and look at the first level instructions.

We built a game at two levels but I wish we had been running it at each level to see if we needed to debug at each level. My program didn't move to the second backdrop. I don't know where my error occurred, but one confusing thing, in addition to now knowing why we were dragging each time, is that the video didn't start over with a completely new account so that the "moon" backdrop would have the same name as a new user.

Beginner's course by a beginner?

It seems that the instructor has no experience/ no interest in Scratch

I would not recommend this to anyone

Never did the guided project, because the third party provider has a technical issue. See screens hot here: https://imgur.com/a/3wKzV53 I took the quiz just making the most educated guess hoping that I could end the course afterwards and submit my feedback / error report. I was contemplating to invest in the coursera plus option, but this is a very bad start!

It was impossible to use Scratch through the interface provided by Coursera: the web browser in Rhyme was much too tiny and there was no way to change the size. I spent the entire course with Scratch opened on a second window and switched back and forth between the video and the editor.

The instructor barely explained any of the reasoning behind the code.
