The Challenge
A lot of people recommend learning making games to learn programming languages better. So that's exactly what I did. The only difference is that I did not use any graphics at all. I decided to only use text, and I found a lot of games that can be made like that.
The Games I Made
I didn't only make games, I made some other things like programs to find the factor of a number.
All the programs I made are below:
- Dice rolling simulation
- Factor finder
- Fizz Buzz
- Infinite Fizz Buzz
- Number guessing game
- Maze game
- Prime digit finder
- Snakes and ladders simulation
- Tic Tac Toe
- Anagram finder
- Image printer
- Collatz sequence simulator
- Currency converter
- Periodic table explorer
- Reflex tester
- Typing speed tester
About the games
All of the games that I made have a limit of 250 lines. This is so that I didn't get confused when trying to understand it the next day :)
This is a project I will be working on for a really long time, and I recommend to everyone learning a language to make some games and spend a while "testing" them :)
They are all heavily commented to be beginner friendly.
In making these games, I learned a lot about loops, libraries, modules, and other things involved in coding. I also learned and memorized quite a lot of ANSI escape sequences, because color.
Conclusion
I made a lot of games in this, and they taught me quite a bit. I highly recommend making a few games to learn a language better.
The languages I used were Python, C++, Ruby, and Java.
I also accept contributions, so head over to the repo and play or make an issue!
