I am unsure about posting an article about my application projects.

What I have tried:

On Saturday, I have tried to post an article about a simple game I developed which is name d "Attack The Enemy RPG" which runs on command line interface and it got rejected. The game was coded using Python

The name for "command line interface" is console, or "console mode".

I remember it, and as I commented at the time, it wasn't suitable for publication.

As a game, it wasn't enthralling - I very much doubt that even you have "played" it more than once - the code was "student grade" at best and really didn't show anything new or useful to even a beginner. It looked - frankly - like student homework, being only what? 25 lines of code if I recall correctly? Fortnite it wasn't! :laugh:

Articles here are there to help others: they need to contain interesting or useful information - a badly conceived game that hasn't been well written doesn't do that.

And as I also mentioned, the internet follows you around for a very long time: in six months time you will look at theat code and go "what was I thinking?". It's not something you want potential employers to find, just like you don't want those embarrassing picture on your farcebook page to be public knowledge!

Wait until you have a little experience, and write an article on something useful, or interesting - just posting any code isn't a good idea.

Please, look at some of the existing articles here to get an idea of the standard we expect.
Here's one of mine: Using struct and class - what's that all about?[^]
And here's a tip which is a lot more "code focussed": Creating a Simple "scratch card" Control in WinForms[^]

We moderators aren't here to make your life difficult, or to be nasty - quite the reverse, we protect the site from not-ready articles, and authors from the derision and downvotes that poorer articles can receive. And to be a moderator, you have to write articles, so we know what it feels like when you slave away on something and Joe Moron from Stupidity High School, Kansas finds out it's not what he needs to hand in as his homework ... :laugh:
If we had let that though as it stands, it would - at best - be ignored, and more likely downvoted into oblivion.
