Show HN: Beginner's guide to C# – Build a simple RPG

14 points by scottlilly ↗ HN
This is something I wanted to create for several months, and I recently finished it.

It introduces beginning programmers to C# by showing them how to build a very simple RPG (no graphics, very few features, etc.)

I know it won't appeal to 99.999% of HN readers, but it's something I'm proud of, and wanted to show off.

I would be interested in seeing a Part 2 of this tutorial introducing graphics for the RPG game. Do you have any plans to extend this tutorial?

I'll probably have a Part 2 (and maybe more). First, I want to see what direction people are interested in taking it; web-based version, add graphics, more game features, deeper coding skills, etc.

Plus, it took a lot of time to write. So I can use a little break. :)

Excellent of you to share your work with people in a way they can learn while doing a project. Most introductory programming books do not approach it this way.

Thank you. When looking through forums, I always saw, "I want to write a game, but I don't know how to program" posts. So I figured this might be more an interesting way to introduce someone to the basics.
