I have read TDKs tutorials and others, and I have read the help and such in the Basic program, but I am still unsure on how to make stuff. If anyone can clarify on what I could do to help me learn this stuff, then please post below, thanks.

Instead of just reading a tutorial, try following one and applying it step-by-step into DarkBasic so that you have a completed project by the end of the tutorial. This will help you retain useful commands and be a part of how and why they function instead of just reading about how they function.

If you wanted to learn to play guitar, would you just read 10 books about guitars, or would you pick a guitar up and start plucking the strings as well?

Hope this helps!

In the help files each command usually comes with a small code snip that'll teach you about the specific command. Start by looking up the text commands in the help files.

Here's the example code in the help files with the TEXT command:

Also, I would suggest running through and completing the dodge tutorial by Zaibatsu. I have seen a few things made by different people using it, and it seems they learned a lot. It covers lots of useful techniques and how to apply them like collision, health, display, moving, and etc and it is pretty easy and quick to read through.
