Course Expansion and Clean Code Principles

The video introduces a free expansion to a turn-based strategy course, focusing on converting a game from a square grid to a hex grid. The expansion is easy to implement due to the clean code structure of the course, requiring changes to only two classes: the grid system and pathfinding. The video emphasizes the benefits of writing clean code, which facilitates easy expansion and feature addition. Current course owners have free access to this expansion, and feedback is encouraged for future updates.
