I think it would be nice if the final code in the demonstration can be included in the course. And I find that my window laptop screen is not big enough to run 800 by 800 (so I changed them to 500), and the block doesn't show up, which is why I think it might be good to have the final code to compare with just so that I know I didn't miss type something, but I eventually figured it out, so it's still very much fine if not. Very cool project, has much potential, and quite well explained, thanks!

I learned a lot from the course, I thought it was very detailed. I wish the process of installing the required programs was shown in the videos rather than on a PDF. I found the challenge problems interesting as well.
