Def. Get dark basic. Its soooo simple. Since its based around the BASIC language, its really easy to learn. If you know max, then you wont be needing a modeller to help you either
Contact me on the instant messengers below for help, or view my teams website thats in my sig. That has some examples of basics power on it (not to full extent!)
For better examples, look at that gallery! WOW! Id check out the MojoMagic website (under the Equilibrium demo) and download the demo from that site. Its an AMAZING rpg battle system.
I came into programming a complete and total NEWBIE in august, and Ive gotten so much better. Im only 14 (dont get me wrong, there are plently of younger programmers out there, in no means am I bragging), and I picked it up pretty quick. DB comes with a full users manual, and a list of all the commands, and their description, and a ready to run example of code for each
