Update 7/21/2023: Added an article lesson with a zip showing how to make a simple platformer game using Windows Forms and C#.
Update 7/20/2023: Some Unity Scripts are also now added . These are good for beginning learners. They are all heavily commented so it's very important to read all the comments to understand what the code is doing. They're on the bottom in article form.
Update 7/19/202023: Added on bottom a zipped up C# project that amounts to a customer calendar generator. I haven't made videos on this yet, as I lack the time.

Dynamic calendar generation based on selected months, days, and year.
Month and day selection using CheckedListBox controls.
Year selection using a NumericUpDown control.
Copying text from a top RichTextBox to all corresponding RichTextBoxes in the calendar.
Clearing text from all RichTextBoxes in the calendar.
Zoom control using a TrackBar to adjust the calendar size.
Font size adjustment using a separate TrackBar for the RichTextBoxes' font size.
Update 7/19/2023: Added on bottom a zipped up C# project that creates a draggable text box whose location and content are saved between form loads. It's a sticky note basically for Windows Forms. I have not yet made videos on this, as I lack the time but the code has a lot of rich comments.
Update 7/18/2023: On the bottom is a C# Game Project in a zipped up file. I HAVE NOT had the time to make videos of this project. The GameForm project has been meticulously documented with detailed comments to help learners understand the purpose and functionality of each line of code. Here's an overview of how the lines of code are heavily commented. You play a character that has to avoid three little monster moving around on the screen. It's about 260 lines of code.
