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!

if this video went a bit more detailed and deep then I would have given a solid 5 stars
but, still it is EPIC considering the fact that it is free ( great job )


Takes his time to explain eveything, doesn't go to fast, let's me think while the video is unpaused. He makes godot feel less intimidating and easier to master, lots of other people don't take their time and they go to fast, he goes slow, and never rushes, and helps me find exactly what I want to learn for free

I recomend this to everyone great tutorial I love it

a great course.. a great way to create a fun game all by yourself .. very much recommended to watch this course and also tweak it yourself rather than copying everything..

Helped me understand so much more about Godot. Really worth my time and effort to make my game about ten times better than what it was before. Its really awesome that it is free too, so i don't have to beg my parents to buy it for me. by the way my game is going to be called "Pizza Man" :D

great  ty for this video and god bless you always

I'm a Unity developer who is trying to learn Godot too because of the fact that other engines are a little restricted where I live, but I never thought Godot could be this good. This tutorial actually made me start because of how beginner-friendly it was and hwo easy it was to tweak things for your own way. I recommend it to anybody who wants to instantly start with a complete, fun game!

first time using Godot and WAW! this is an awesome tutorial to help people get better! from the moment I started watching this on Youtube to now this has taught me so much about coding! keep up the great video format! I will be watching more of these to help me get better!

Very nice Course really helped me start up on my first game, a big W for dumbasses like myself.

Chihab X-TRA

This course is the best, no other youtube channel has reached its level ! Thank you Coco Code for this epic course <3 !

It helped me learn how to code and how to create a fun and satisfying game!

The best Godot course and also for free.Thanks

This is the best course you can see, incredible quality of video, awesome editing, very clear voice and explanation, just the best series you can see for begining

Its so great i reaaly enjoyed i met this first

This course is the best thing that has happened to my life. It delivers information in a detailed, fast and fun way. It also encourages you to create more and develop. It gives you great skills from a creative person, and all of this is free. I am really proud of every minute you spent designing this course and this wonderful website. You guys are really creative. Thank you for giving us this wonderful opportunity.

I learned so much in this course, thank you a lot. I would love to have a general Godot video where the strukture of godot is explained, but I got the feeling you guys got this covered over on youtube. 
This is the first interaction with godot for me, it was sooo good.

This is an amazing course for beginners! Do recommend

In my opinion, this course will help many beginners to launch they game adventure so make more videos please !

Thank you so much. Brillant and incredible teacher. Thank you.

CocoCode is how I made my first game you should definitely watch his course and sign up he is really entertaining and keeps me on board. -Thanks CocoCode!

This is the second game engine I ever used. Coco Code helped me transition into Godot from The kids coding website, Scratch.

I think that this course is great, I just started Godot, and it has helped me a lot to grasp the basics, and I feel that it's really good! I liked the parts where you have to go things yourself as I find that it helped me absorb everything much easier! I found that when trying to make even more level on top of this, I had a few issues, but they were mainly me forgetting, or, when using help from the video, it skipping over a piece already covered that can often cause bugs, however it was mainly my fault...

It's nice for beginner like me it's helps alot and thank you for making it free

this coarse is really helpful, it has helped me get used to coding GDScript and has actually made me like learning which is a change. It is also wonderfully crafted/ edited. Great work

Learning how to make games is fun, but many tutorials are not that helpful, I found your videos to be very helpful in making my games, I hope you can give more About godot engine for free.

Its soo great, I just dont have the words to express... again its the best and greatest game development course
