I believe that project-based learning is the most effective. In this course you will create your first game based on a 2D platformer game (Mario - like).

Over the course of 4 videos you will learn how to:
- Create your own game map using tiles
- Create your character and move it around the scene
- Create pickups and collect points
- Create multiple levels and level selection
- Add health points, traps and enemies!

And more!

# Collect trophies

In each video you will get a chance to receive Godot mastery badges and stamps. This will keep you engaged through the entire course!
