Thanks! I definitely agree, I often find "hello world" tutorials a bit pointless, especially if you: - Already know the basics of programming - They literally just print "hello world" I often try to do something more graphical when learning a language, as it forces me to try out IO, some data structures and control flow, but also gives me something that can be tweaked and played around with.

I actually like 'Hello world' examples, as long as they are very short. That way I have a basic program in an unknown language and can continue from there. Finding out how to make a very simple sample program myself was frustrating in the past sometimes. (Where should I put the files, what is necessary to load the main class etc.)
