What will be taught? 
Students will dive into the world of Python game design by building an exciting, multi-level adventure game where they help a hero named Zonan navigate magical realms, battle enemies, and recover a lost gem—all while mastering core coding skills.

What topics will you cover? 
The course covers animation, keyboard controls, collision detection, conditionals, dictionaries, arithmetic for game mechanics, visual effects like health meters, and how to design game levels that respond to player actions.

How is your class structured?
The class unfolds over 8 creative missions, each one themed as a new chapter in Zonan’s quest. Every class introduces a key Python concept, followed by a fun hands-on activity where learners code game features, test them in real time, and level up their coding skills.

How will you teach? 
Teaching is done through storytelling, live code-alongs, and interactive challenges. Students learn by building, playing, and debugging their own game scenes, guided by the instructor every step of the way.

What's your teaching style? 
The instructor brings high energy, lots of encouragement, and a game-based learning approach that keeps students excited. Each lesson feels like a mix of an epic story and a live coding mission, where creativity and logic come together.

How much will learners get to interact with you? 
Learners interact constantly through coding demos, real-time feedback, class discussions, and collaborative problem-solving. The instructor offers guidance during every activity, answers questions on the spot, and celebrates each coding win with the class.

Learning Goals

Learn to build interactive games using Python and real-time animation.
Understand and apply coding concepts like conditionals, loops, dictionaries, and collision detection.
