Coding a Game for Complete Beginners [ 1 hour tutorial ]

Heya pals,

This here is a little intro to programming that I wanted to share with you, as an attempt to show just how straightforward game programming logic can be. I'd love to do another one just like it, so if you have any feedback I'd be really happy to fold it in to the next one.

Note: This is not intended to be an exhaustive course, just an intro into basic coding concepts to help you get encouraged to make a start on your own journey! I hope I've inspired you to jump in.
