DUNGEON CRAWLER!!
I just finished my game of tic tac toe, and i wanted to try to make a dungeon game. I do not know much about the game and was hoping someone can explain the idea of the game and also the basic outline on what the code should be like.
If you're looking for a definition - a dungeon crawler game typically is set in a fantasy environment. The basic idea is that the player navigates a labyrinth/maze/dungeon environment, fighting monsters, collecting treasures and leveling up along the way.

Ok, how would i make the game board? For now, i just want to know the idea of making a board or grid and having a char move within that grid or board.
The simplest form of a dungeon game is a simple 2D array, perhaps 10x10.
Drop some trolls, bombs, treasures or what ever at random locations in the grid.
Start the user in a random location.
Let the user change locations by pressing a key (W,A,S,D works well).
Make sure the user doesn't move out of bounds.
You can get as fancy as you want when interacting with objects on the grid.
If the user moves to a cell with a bomb, POOF game over.
If the user has picked up an ax, he can throw it at a troll.
You're limited only by your imagination and your coding skills.
