As a first port of call, try http://www.rapideuphoria.com/abgte2.zip which is
the "A Beginner's
Guide To Euphoria"

Win32lib comes with many sample programs and a reasonable set of Docs. However,
we probably should
create an annotated edition of all the samples plus "tips".

'for' sytax is:
FOR <loop_index> = <start> TO <end> (BY <incr>) DO <body> END FOR
The FOR, TO, DO, and END FOR keywords are mandatory. <loop_index> is the
*name* of a variable that
Euphoria sets and controls during the looping code. You cannot change its value
at any time. The
trick to 'for' is that the loop index must not be already declared and its scope
is restricted to
inside the loop. <start> is the initial value that the loop index receives and
<end> is the last
value that it can have. The BY clause is optional. If omitted, <incr> is assumed
to be 1. At the end
of each iteration and before your loop body code gets control, Euphoria adds the
<incr> value to the
<loop_index>. If this cause the loop index to go beyond the <end> value, the
loop is completed and
the next line of code after the END FOR is executed. Between the Do and END FOR,
you can have any
number of statements, however some specific statements are not allowed (such as
procedure/function/constant/ etc...).
'if' syntax is:
IF <boolean_test> THEN <true_code> (ELSE <false_code>) END IF
In other words the IF, THEN and END IF key words are mandatory. If you have
an ELSE clause, it
must appear after the THEN clause and before the END IF statement.
<boolean_test> must be an
expression that results in an atom; zero means the test failed, non-zero means
the test succeeded.
<true_code> only gets executed if the test succeeded, and <false_code> only gets
executed if the
test failed. There can be any number, including zero, statements in either the
<true_code> and
<false_code>, however some specific statements are not allowed (such as
procedure/function/constant/
etc...).

Try the contributions section of www.rapideuphoria.com , there are hundreds of
great ideas there.

How about a text-based adventure game?
