Does creating a text based game in java really helps or it only just make you confused between the difference of a real game?

Question

Creating a text based game like using methods as enemies and shows stats as data type. Does it really help a person learn java in a real life game coding?

Answer 1

Yes, it's a good start for a fresher. You could for example use a state machine pattern for a text based game as well and learn a lot from developing it without needing to take care of a gui framework (which can be added later on, if your code is clean and well structured).
