Well, I would start by making a platform engine. There may be some engines on this forum, just try the search function.

@zero#43 - That code is not very long or complex... It's just two boxes in different colours, being honest that doesn't make a good sky. If ur working in dbpro, figure out the box command and how to define two colours and make a gradient inside the box, e.g. have the sky a lighter blue at the base than at the top.

@Murder of Ravens - There was a very good platform engine in the Underwaredesign.com darkbasic source code page, even though it only uses boxes. I'd reccomend that as your start.

I am the lead programmer at red spark studios
I also have a blog on how to make a game engine

A level editor is a good start, and some test level pieces. The collision detection can be tricky when dealing with weirdly shaped pieces, but a simple ground height arrays tends to work and is real fast. It's sorta like pixel perfect collision but more stable and faster. You'd have a row of heights for each piece of level, then you simply check these heights with the player.

Could you post some screenies of your sprite work, if you have any sprites you have drawn yourself that would suit a Zelda style 2D RPG, then I could really use them. Working on a Pokemon rip off RPG with my son and little brother, I'm sure you can imagine what crazy ideas an 8 and 10 year old will have . I'm thinking one or two enemy sprites if you have them.

Can you speak German? If so, I have exactly what you're looking for, with sprites included. Interested? Nein?
