Respect Tim for creating such wonderful channel 👏

Hey Tim!
Great video, the project really fits to my skill level!
I'm really excited for future episodes.

Also, I noticed that in class board > move() it should probably be if row == ROWS - 1... instead of if row == ROW ... .

I can give you a tip for speed optimization. If you create a pygame.Surface the size of the window in the board.__init__. Then .blit() the board on that surface and in the main function, you draw only this static surface, instead of calling board.draw() which is a nested for loop. This is a great way to optimize the slow drawing of multiple static objects like the board squares.

Brilliant Channel! Great stuff to learn ! I would recommend this as the best coding channel to learn from. Thanks Tim, for these great tutorials. Helped a lot!

[nafiyad]

Tim thank you I have been here since day 1 and you have been helping a lot by your django tutorial and some books I have now got a job thank you love you man

[Amitbidermoon]

Those pygame tutorials are amazing! Keep on doing them, helps a ton.

Hey Tim. I appreciate you and your content.

I was over the moon when I saw this vid in my feed. I was afraid this would become another systems design playlist

A pretty awesome tutorial, but you should slow down a bit.
Maybe take time to explain in more detail, personnaly I would have love to have some more in depth explaination on why you choose what maths formula in place of an other.
Overall, you deliver a really good learning point but it fell needlessly rush.
Thanks again for making this content

from 8:00 after wrieting the code it doesn't work and says Board has not attribute board only for the draw function but not the others

[prithvi]

Thank you tim! What laptop are you using?

[johnmcway]

Tim if you reply to this comment, I will be filled with determination to finally start building my portfolio. I need this one last push.

[aadityamunjal]

I think Tim made this right after the first part because he's wearing the same T-shirt 😂😜

[programmingwithpranav]

Can you please tell all the extensions you installed for Visual Studio Code and how you made all your constants purple in color? I think its really cool.

[jelle]

Amazing tutorial already, really helpful to explore the pygame syntax. Do you make a plan in advance, like in pseudocode or something?

[annieshi]

it says board has not attribut board I've defined board too I don't get why its not working I've tried everything and re writing the code

[nataliaszczepkowska]

Hi! I have a small problem. When i run the program it does not draw the board. A blank window pops up for a little while but I can't see the board with pieces. Plus in def draw_squares(self, win): I can see the information that it can be static, which I don't quite understand. Do you know a solution to those problems?

[nirmaltheprogrammer]

I am your biggest fan . Tim is awesome

[shaharyarahmed]

Could you start a pyglet 3D tutorial series perhaps? maybe even teach us to make mine craft? just saying...

[annieshi]

please help it says booard object has no attribute board
