About the easiest program you can produce which can be defined as a number guessing game which (in pseudo code) is the following:
Begin
number = Generate Random Number Between 1 and 100;
For 1 to 10
guess = get guess from command line;
If guess = number
End Program with congratulations message;
End If
End For
end program with try again message;
End
After that producing the following games with ASCII graphics is a decent challenge for the beginner programmer:
- Tic-Tac-Toe
- Solitare
- Chess
- Checkers
- Battleship
- Poker
- Black Jack
When you have finished that, you will (probably) want to move onto basic 2D graphic versions of those games. After you are growing (amazingly) tired of turn based games it is time for you to move onto cloning games like Pong and Asteroids.
