Hello there!<\/p>\n

I’m Gil, and I am a\u00a0beginner\u00a0programmer. But not like “I’m a beginner, I have been playing around with flash a bit”. No, I’m REALLY in the beginning.<\/p>\n

I am on the first year of college, and I have never touched programming before. The first language they\u00a0taught me was C. Not C++, not C#. Just C. Like, one of the first programming languages from the 70’s… The one that inspired the majority of modern languages (like Java, C++ and C#).<\/p>\n

Because of the limitations of C and of my knowledge, I can only make a Text Game. If you like retro, mine can’t go much back! This will be also a great test for myself with deadlines, rating, and all things involved in for real life\u00a0programming. As this is all a test and a challenge for me, I’m going to join the Jam.<\/p>\n

I hope I can at least make it playable and enjoyable! Have fun!<\/p>\n
