I wanted to get my hands dirty while making something fun. I LOVE text adventure RPGs, and I LOVE MUDs, so I’m attempting to build a cross between the two: a Single User Dungeon (SUD). A few notes on code quality Most of this code is pretty rough. I was mostly trying things until they worked and reflecting on what went well and what didn’t. I do love that git captures this process for me....

The final step is hosting your project on Heroku. Publishing an update to Heroku is as easy as a git remote push (in fact, that’s all there is to it!...

Primary Django Web Page Components urls.py views.py models.py template.html settings.py URLs and Views At a minimum, we need to configure these two elements.
