Terminal-based Games!

The Repo

A collection of open-source games that use only the standard i/o!

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!
