Cool Writing Games
Hi all,
Has anyone here ever written code to execute a game, whether it was simple or complex? I wrote one (which was shocking to me), but obviously at my age it was an extremely simple one, and I followed directions to write it. All you really need is a little bit of Algebra knowledge, if following a guide/tutorial, preciseness, and common sense.

Does hangman count? I prefer fiddling with little elements rather than a whole game though.Coding space invaders is a big project, but coding a 2D sprite system is a step towards it that's more managable.

I have created 5 games, but all were 2D . I used C++, it was a nice experience!
