This video really needs a popup around 12:15 to mark that the Application Class functions has been deprecated.

So I spent at least 20 minutes reviewing the video and my code as I was convinced I had missed something causing my game to not work. I don't typically check the teacher's notes unless I'm looking for information on how something works in more depth than what the video discussed. The teacher's notes did hold information regarding the change to the Application class, but there was no indication in the video to be wary of possible changes to the course's dialog on the matter.

Other courses tend to put pop ups in over their video content when something has changed to call out that there could be a discrepancy or change to when the video was created. I would suggest putting something similar in this video so people like me who tend to try and figure it out on their own before asking or looking for help don't spend 20 to 30 minutes trying to find their mistake.
