Hi I'm new to this software, and I'm in 7th grade, almost 8th, and I need to know how to start on making my own games.
1st. I want to know how to make a Pong Game.
2nd. I want to know how to make a Asteroids Game.
3rd. I want to know how to make a 3-D Dodge Ball Game.

If you have any suggestions here please post on it.

Sorry nobody is going to just give you the code. Anyway that takes all the fun out of programming. just read some tutorials and keep practicing and you will soon figure out how to make your own games.

here are very good C++ tutorials
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

and DGDK is basically the same as darkbasic Pro so you can use tutorials for that.

Look in the DarkGDK .chm file that comes with the installation.

You can find it in the start menu: Start -> Program Files -> The Game Creators -> DarkGDK -> Documentation -> Information

None taken but you didn't need to download the pdf file, you can just read it online.

DannyE - Please be careful in future when double posting! You can edit your previous posts if necessary.

I know you are new, so no harm done.

You probably should look at the Tutorials that come with DarkGDK and go from there if you are new.
