These videos are both good and have shortcomings... It's more realistic to see all the wrong turns made. It would have been nice to have assembly macros instead of cut and paste code, but people do that in real life too. He should have made the character a named constant, and looked up the constant instead of running a test program using an even more obscure technical detail... Or that was okay but make it a named constant if needed to look up. He discusses programming principles that would apply to in general fairly often but not always clearly. That TODO list was nice, but could he do some of the planning on a whiteboard or notebook, maybe draw a flowchart? Maybe have a review afterwards and lessons learned segment.
