Hey! I am a newcomer to darkbasic and have an ambition to create a 2d side scrolling game. However, I know virtually nothing about anything relating to darkbasic and this is a problem. I need to know where to start. There are many things that I know of (many more that I don't) that I don't know how to do. These include: making a background for each of the levels, creating sprites (both main character and enemies), making level scroll when character is close to left or right side of screen, texturing, giving animations to the characters, creating projectiles for guns, collision detection, etc... The list goes on and on and on. If anyone would be so kind as to offer some help just to get me started on the right track I would be very gratefull. Thanks!!! BTW- I will include the code for the only way I know to get an image (a box with a red "x" representing a background" to scroll across the screen. As you may notice, it is very choppy and will most likely give you a siezure.

Just start with a simple game.Like old arcade games(Pong,Space Invader,Pac-Man,etc...).
Then start with a more complicate game.

Thanks for the info. I think I will try to make a simple pong game. If you have any more info. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!
