They aren't commands as such, they are animations. You could play animations using the
play object
command. I advise you look at some tutorials on using and animating objects first before you throw yourself headlong into a big project like this.

I would be unstoppable if I could just get started...

Of course, reading the alien demo source code would reveal exactly how they do it. But, that might be too easy...

The alien is just a model with some animation. There are no commands in the media package.

You need to use Dark Basic to load the alien model and watch the animations. Read the demos that come with DB or ask specific questions from the bulletin board users.

For starters, type this into DB to load and watch the alien:

OK, then use the tools that you have to learn. In the editor, all commands are highlighted blue. At any time you can click on a blue command and hit the F1 key, this will display the help file for that command. Start at the top and continue down, highlighting and looking at the help file for every command that you do not understand. This is fastest and easiest way to learn the language.
