https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-console-games ?

I have been working on the https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-console-games, which is a bunch of simple, open-source games written in C# with the goal of providing educational examples to new software developers. There are more than 40 games in the repository, and I plan on continuing to make more in the future, and contributions are very welcome. I also ported the games to the web using C#'s blazor webassembly so you can play the games right in the browser: https://dotnet.github.io/dotnet-console-games/.

I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from the C# community, but I wanted to share the repository here as I feel it could be helpful to other communities too. Even if you are not interested in C#, each of the games could be easily coded in other languages too. So, if you know someone who is learning to code and is looking for fun beginner-level coding projects maybe encourage them to give the repository a look.

Thanks. :)

However if you don't want to use releases you can just use a dedicated branch that is not your source code branch. For example, in the dotnet-console-games repository, the source code is in the "main" branch and there is another branch called "binaries" that stores the compilation output. https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-console-games. There is an action in github that automatically builds the code from the "main" branch and pushes the output to the "binaries" branch. That action is here: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-console-games/blob/main/.github/workflows/Binaries%20Deploy.yml

Source Code: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-console-games/blob/main/Projects/Gravity/Program.cs You can also play it in your web browser here: https://dotnet.github.io/dotnet-console-games/Gravity

There is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.console.setcursorposition, used very liberally in https://github.com/ZacharyPatten/dotnet-console-games

If anything here caught your interest, or if you know someone who is looking for fun beginner C# projects, I encourage you to check out the repo where all the games are open source: https://github.com/ZacharyPatten/dotnet-console-games.

Make a small game: rock paper scissors, snake, simon, flappy bird, an rpg, sudoku, etc. If you would like some examples I have some here: https://github.com/ZacharyPatten/dotnet-console-games

here’s a list of a few good ones!

ProjectLearn: Project Based Learning (Xtremilicious)

Since you already have a background in programming, do some projects. Project Ideas here's a link for tutorials and ideas. Do your own implementation and put your source code / demo on Github. This gives you something to talk about during an interview. You can talk about how you approach and solve a problem, you can also demonstrate how fast you learn, "I learned React in 2 weeks and made this.". Most importantly it shows initiative and a desire to learn.
