Hi. I just got DarkBASIC from a teacher of mine for my Senior Project. Well, I have looked through the tutorials and gone through the sample games. I just still don't get it.

Please give me a hint and tell me how to start. I'm foreign (chinese) so its hard for me to even understand a single thing the program meant. Well I only understand about the a$ and the a, b, and c thing and the print a, b, c thing. So please help me how to start.

Thank you.

What exactly is the question?

Well to get srated, read through the tutorials, look at every word and if you dont understand it then read up on the word.

You have to use a different software to create characters

My game will make sure Final Fantasy will never be forgotten.
Remember me because my game will be in the shops in a year or 2.

I just started with DB also. My advice would be,

Do the tutorials. Dont just copy them, actualy type it out. Then, once it is working, look over the code and figure out what each command is doing. Once you kinda get it, start changing things.

you can learn a lot from a 'make cube' program.

You have to know WHAT you want to do before you can get help doing it. Dream up a little something that you think DarkBasic should be able to do, and then find out how to make DB do it.

That's why it starts with "Hello World" program. Next step might be print your name, then print your name in red, then print your name in red with a green box around it, then fight the Imperial Wizards for control of the main access tunnel so you can reach the Room Of the Tenth Secret and print your name in red.
