It’s funny, but smaller aspects of my bigger projects tend to be more popular than their parent work. Like ASCIIpOrtal really was just a text-based game that came about because of Cymon’s Games in general. more recently my Sexy Unboxing video quickly surpassed in views the video it was a clip from. Well, here’s another one I expect to generate more buzz than it’s source material.

What you see below is a small step in a process of teaching people to program that is progressing (slowly) on the forums: Learning to program by writing a text Adventure. Step 1 (from the book): let’s play a simple game. Step 2: Let’s start writing a game. And yet I expect this to be way more popular than the tutorial.

There are, admittedly, a few issues marring the experience, and I plan to do a “How I’d do it again if I had it to do over” sort of video next, but the idea at the very least has some potential.

I hope everyone enjoys it.
