Don't let this gap widen
Why this program matters
Without mastery of creating a video game like Pac-Man from A to Z, beginners lose an average of 200 hours to chaotic coding and basic errors.
70 % of amateur projects fail before the testable phase, generating unnecessary costs of 3 000 à 10 000 € in tools, time, and frustrations.
For teachers and trainers, the absence of playful programming causes 50 % student disengagement, hindering STEM success and exposing them to professional failures.
Each quarter without solid skills condemns your career or class to missing the opportunities in the exploding video game market.
Program
Module 1Discovery of the Pac-Man Game and Project Preparation
Introduction to the history and mechanics of Pac-Man. Presentation of the tools to use (code editor, graphics libraries, etc.). Installation of the development environment (Python + Pygame or JavaScript + Canvas). Breakdown of the project specifications. Getting hands-on with the program structure. First static visual elements displayed on screen (maze, characters, dots).
Module 2Programming the Basics of Gameplay: Movements and Collisions
Creation of a basic game loop. Handling keyboard inputs to move Pac-Man on the grid. Implementation of grid-based movements, obstacle and wall management. Collision system: eating pac-dots, intersection detection, start of score management. Introduction to the concept of sprites.
Module 3Ghost AI, Levels, Polishing, and Deployment

Our method
Training quality, guaranteed at every step
Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.
You meet the trainer beforehand
30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.
- Live briefing on goals and team context.
- Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Content tailored to your context
No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.
- Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
- Program co-written then validated by your team.
Continuous quality follow-up
Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.
- NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
- Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.
A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
