ShellCade
The Project
ShellCade is a C#-based console arcade that brings together a collection of classic and strategy-driven games—including Buckshot Roulette, Hangman, Mastermind, Minesweeper, Nim, Sudoku, Tic Tac Toe, and Tiles—right into your terminal. Each game is implemented with structured, turn-based loops and incorporates core concepts such as basic AI behavior, probability-driven mechanics, grid-based logic, and consistent state management across the arcade framework. I was inspired to build ShellCade as a way to apply my newly acquired C# skills in a practical setting while also exploring the design of command-line applications. I wanted to create something interactive, technically engaging, and nostalgic—combining multiple well-known games into one cohesive CLI tool. The most challenging part of the project was implementing Buckshot Roulette. Compared to the other games, it required significantly more complex logic, including managing multiple gameplay parameters and translating an intense, dynamic experience into a purely text-based interface.
