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

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. http://scottlilly.com/learn-c-by-building-a-simple-rpg-index

In plain words

This is a beginner-focused tutorial that teaches C# programming through building a simple text-based RPG. It walks novice programmers through fundamental concepts by creating a game with minimal features and no graphics. The guide uses practical, hands-on instruction to help learners understand C# while working on a concrete project they can follow from start to finish.

    Hey! I’m JC. I’m 17 and part of Hack Club, a nonprofit where we help teenagers ship programming projects with their friends while growing technically. A while ago, I asked myself the question, “How exactly do programming languages work behind the scenes?” It seemed really daunting until I went to a half hour workshop at a high school hackathon about writing a tree-walk interpreter and realized that getting started was actually super fun. This guide is designed in the vein of that - to get people, especially teenagers, started on learning how to build a programming language in a literal…
