Think of livestream difficulty levels as a guide to where you start in any LIVE channel. If you're new to LIVE or are taking on a new LIVE channel, start with the Beginner-level livestreams first. Then move on to Intermediate-level livestreams, and finally, venture into Advanced territory.
Beginner: Beginner livestreams tackle the basics and are a great place to start learning, whether you're new to LIVE or new to a particular LIVE channel.
Intermediate: This level tackles subjects beyond the basics and are a great way to keep leveling up your skills.
Advanced: If you've completed Beginner and Intermediate livestreams in a particular channel and you're ready for more, hop on to an Advanced-level livestream! This level is perfect for challenging your skills.
The starship USS Turtle is on a mission deep in an asteroid belt, trailblazing a safe path for its fleet to follow. In this series, you’ll learn how to build an asteroids-style game from the ground up, designing the spaceship, its motion controls, laser defenses, and asteroid-rich environment. Can your very own USS Turtle clear the asteroid belt? Let’s find out!
A spaceship built to tackle asteroids needs to be able to move. In this episode, you’ll learn how to get the USS Turtle flying, dodging, weaving, speeding up, and yes, slowing down, too.

Time to start those engines!
