About Adventures In C# Programming

Adventures in C# Programming

is a programming course like no other! It teaches the features of the C# language by guiding you step-by-step through the development of an exploring-style game. You will learn to…

Write a retro-style adventure game like ‘Zork’ or ‘Colossal Cave’

Master object orientation by creating hierarchies of treasure objects

Create rooms and maps using .NET collections, arrays and Dictionaries

Create objects with overloaded and overridden methods

Serialize networks of data to save and restore games

Write modular code using classes, partial classes and subclasses

Program user interaction with a ‘natural language’ interface

Plus: encapsulation, inheritance, constructors, enums, properties, hidden methods and much more… If you are a _beginner programmer_ and already studying another C# course, this will give you hands-on experience of writing a big and complex project. _If you are an experienced_ programmer, this will give you a quick way into the twisty little corners of the C# language. If you are a _retro-games_ fanatic, learn how to write games just like the Infocom classics of the 1980s! In this course you will learn to write C# your own retro text-adventure game using either the

free Visual Studio Community Edition

or a commercial edition of Microsoft Visual Studio. All the

source code

of sample projects is provided ready for you to download, run and modify. The course instructor, _Huw Collingbourne_ , is the author of the cult adventure game, _The Golden Wombat Of Destiny_. A long-established programming teacher online, he is also a well-known programming columnist in the UK and is the author of _The Book Of Ruby_.
