Before I begin, I will send you a sample of my work to show you what I know how to do. Do not mock me in any way shape or form because I am tring to show what I know. For me this is insulting!! (another way to make me mad is hold my hand the whole trip).

Ok, to the actual message, I am working with BASIC, but ever scince I have liked computers I have never seen somthing so confusing. (this makes DOS look easy)
So I am writing in search of help to make my first video game.
My first video game plans to be Baby Steps 2.1.0, or "Pong" (thats the actual name) So any suggestions, shortcuts, whatever. Is welcome.

REMEBER: DO NOT MAKE ME MAD.
P.S. Attached to this forum is a code, please do LOOK at it.

I don't mean to make you mad, but do you mind telling me where this code is on the forum?
What version of Dark Basic are you using? Dark Basic Classic, or Dark Basic Professional?
You might also want to take a look at the sticky thread (at the top) that is called "My First Pong Game" here is a link [href]http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&b=7&t=22030&p=0[href/]

Looking at your code, I've tried to estimate what your current level is. I suggest building up to Pong, rather than trying to go in at the deep end.

First, start by making a program where a circle moves around the screen - bouncing off the edges.

Have a go first, and then only after you've attempted it yourself, take a look at the code below to see how I did it.



Once you've managed that, and understand what every line of the code does, move to the next step, which would be to make some paddles using the box command ........


p.s. As you are the one asking for help, it is far more important that you do your best not to make us mad - not the other way around.

You might also like to change the two longer lines of Ric's code to the following:



So the circle doesn't stick off the edge of the screen. But like Ric said, try all this yourself first, it's by far the best way to learn the language.
