[Tutor] Hands-on beginner's project?

[bhaaluu]

Take a look at this page, and see if it is what you're looking for:

I haven't worked on this project in awhile because I got sidetracked
by other things, but it's still on the backburner. One day I'll pick it
up again. I think Text Adventure Games are ripe for learning Python
Object-Oriented Programming (something I'm interested in learning).

Fell free to download the source code and play around with it, modify
it, whatever. It is a beginner's learning project.

Happy Programming!
