Thanks everyone in the FreeCodeCamp community for being so awesome! Hope you enjoy the video 😄

Great video, learning by practicing is so much better. Even if all you do is copying a few lines of code that you see in each lesson. Much more effective than just taking notes.
I know this because I tried everything and the only way I could learn (and retain what I learned) was when I started doing that.
Once a friend suggested me a few books with interactive content, that made me practice what I learned at each chapter.
Edit: For those asking about the books I mentioned, these are the best ones:
"Javascript In Less than 50 Pages"
"Head First Javascript Programming"
If you are into learning Python, "Smarter Way to Learn Python".

Great job on this Ciri, I'm sure father Geralt would be proud of you.

I've tried so many coding tutorials and understood nothing from them, but you make everything so easy and fun! This is the first time i've genuinely followed along, and I even added my own extra features and UI. Love the way you teach.

I enjoyed quite a lot building the Space Invaders. It blows my mind how many logic can we have behind animation. :D Love your videos Ania and the way you teach them. Rock on!!

[ManishKumar-thcw]

Thanks for sharing such videos, it's always great to see how to build multiple things

[grothe.dominik]

Had to know javascript among other things for my web technology project in my studies. This course has supported me incredibly well, thank you!

Day 2 of following this course. I have made 2 games in 2 days, I have never been this productive!!

[arandomname]

Using this tutorial, when breakout was done i was able to make my own flappy bird. So it is not just following along, it is super helpful. TY Ania

[stillpickinganame]

You explain everything so beautifully! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! Lots of love

[alyster]

Thank you, Mrs Kubów, to teaching us some very helpfull technicals skills. I m happy to follow your sessions :)

Thank you, Ania for your help with studying JS 💖💖💖

Such incredible value as always. Thanks Ania and Freecodecamp!

I would tackle checking for winners by checking 4 ranges from the piece you just played (if you're including diagonals: vertical, horizontal, two diagonals). You would go 3 units out in each direction to obtain your ranges ie: (3 to the left, 3 to the right -- since the piece you just played could complete the 4th if placed at the end of a contiguous line) then you would check the range you obtain to see if there are at least 4 contiguous pieces that match the current player that just dropped their piece.

This would allow for any sized board, as well as any amount of players given that you're only checking for the current player that just dropped their piece.

Thank you Anita. I’ve rarely explored coding for making games but recently had a project and realized how important it is to challenge myself to creating games and how important it is to learn some of those hidden gems in JS and upping my skills.

[hippolytedeparis]

You are an absolute champ, I learnt more in a few hours with this video that with an entire year of JS courses

[ardhisasongko]

Thank you very much Miss, you are my superwoman for my learning journey to get a programming job

[theatypicaldeveloper]

big fan of yours Ania, love your other game related videos. Keep up the good work!

[themanwithnoname]

Just what I needed right now, thankyou very much!!

[samdavepollard]

excellent course - many thanks, Ania, for sharing your knowledge
