Hey there, so in short, what I want is a tutorial that gets quickly into practical applications. I have a very hard time learning about stuff in a theoretical sense, I need to see it in action for it to really absorb. So I'd like a tutorial that can gloss over some stuff to get straight into how to actually make a game run.
Alternatively, if anyone would be willing to spend some time to teach me personally, that would always be the easiest way to learn. I'd much appreciate any offers for that!
Anyway, ideally I want to learn C#, and also ideally I'd like to learn about it in isolation (so outside the context of, for example, Unity) to start with. But that's all I've got.
phaser.io is a good starting point if you're happy to learn JavaScript instead of C# to begin with. As it's a weakly typed language it's arguably (and I mean that there are a lot of arguments about this) an easier language for beginners.
