Professor, thank you so much for giving people like me an opportunity to learn. :)

Thank you professor for making these video. Such a shame you don't have more views.

Really like your lessons so far. I've been taking another Python class, but I prefer your teaching style. However, one little quibble I had was at the end of the lesson when you introduce +=. I think it's kind of important to note that this isn't equivalent to the + operator. My understanding is that + creates a new variable to which it assigns the value on the righthand side, while += modifies the existing variable. This isn't very important now, but can be very important later. It's like dealing with lists, where adding an element using + will make a new list, but .append() mutates the old list.

Not sure exactly what you mean. ASCII is covered in Chapter 7. Using ASCII graphics is not covered, that is kind of a lost art. Graphics for games with this series is done with a library called PyGame.

Why does it spaz out at and give a syntax error at 6:00?
