Hey how you all doing? I read the book (User Manual) I still don't have a clue on what I am doing where too start what too start with etc. I am below Newbie. Can somebody please teach me this program? I really want too be a good programmer but I don't know where too start. I want too make some simple fun too play 2D games. Like the stuff people went for in the arcade days, those were great days gathering up your quaters,sipping a juicy juice, nawling on a candy bar. Oh wait I went off topic. Any way I don't want too make some high powered 3D game I want too make fun 2D games that only require 2 buttons and the standard arrow keys. I really want too do space shooters side scrolling. If any one here has AOL or AIM and can help me out please,please help me out my screen name is urbestfriend697 (i only have aim so if you e-mail that name i wont receive it.)

the manual is complicated, you should start with simple things like text and stuff, check the examples page, go to the help thingie on darkbasic and then examples and find whatever you want, email me if you like, make the subject on the email thingy, "HELP!!!"
my e mail is
anacondaentertainment@hotmail.com

fart like you've never farted before!!!
