Sorry your browser is not supported!

This is probally the easiest question you guys have ever been asked. well actually I have a couple of questions.

0) How would u make your actual game 2d instead of 3d

1) How would u make a 2d sprite (could paint be used)

2) How would u load it and position it correctly into dbpro

3) How would u make animations for your sprite (what program and it has to be free) and load them and get the to work when you press say spacekey (so something like if spacekey() = 1 play animation)

4) How would u load sound (for example a gun shooting)

5) How could i make a background for 2d from a picture and load it into dbpro

6) How would you load a picture (like a healthbar) into your game, position it, and then get it to go down when your hurt.

I think thats it... sorry for so many questions... I've searched youtube, tutorials, searchbar, nothing.

Could someone just tell me (or make a tutorial) on how to do this?

Extra Questions
these don't really need answering but they would help.

1) How can you make a sound that plays throughout your game, and then when you shoot it also plays the shoot sound with the main sound still playing

2) What code do you use to position something
(like
sprite:
position X: 200
position Y: 400)

PLEASE READ THIS
ok, I know how to load a sprite, sound, whatever into dbpro under the media thing on the bottom right but what code the I use to load THOSE into the game. (like: load sprite "armyguy", (size))

IM SO SORRY FOR ALL THESE QUESTIONS

have you even bothered to hit F1 in the editor?

and, please:

is obviously just a little bit un-true? hmmm?

best of luck! you're gonna need it if you continue this way

add: sorry for the tone. i'm finding some of the silliness of the forums here very frustrating of late. too much "do this for me!" or "gimme the codez" kinda stuff. people taking the time to offer help seems to go un-appreciated way too often, lately. so, my apologies if my current attitude is unfounded... i think i need a break

Haha, Nomad, Take a break. Everyone feels the exact same way.


Forum search this. There is literally a whole part of the forum dedicated to 2d.

Yes. Once again, forum search.

Look through the 2d section of the code. You know what, I'm even gonna do it for you. It's not that hard. Help --> Command Help --> Commands --> Basic 2d commands. That would be a good start. From commands you should also look at Sound, music, sprites, and animation. Good luck.

I've never personally done 2d animations before. It might even be possible to do it in DB Pro. Once again, check out the animation commands.

Check sound commands. Easy stuff.

That's a question that depends on the scenario. I'd image it wouldn't be that simple once you start adding in sprites and such. Check the Image Commands. Or possibly Sprite Commands.

You wouldn't load a picture. HUD's and healthbars usually are created within Dark Basic Pro. Once you have one made, you would make it go up and down using variables. If you don't know what a variable is, you are waaaaaay ahead of yourself. Best of luck with your coding.

I know what a variable is, and im not lying at all Virtual Nomad. and I never knew about the F1 button, sorry, and thank you WrecKKa

if you are still looking for this this is the way i would do it.
"how to play a sound though out your game"

load the file(load music)(load sound[for short like gun shot sounds])

and in your main loop put "play music music number"

Something like this?
