Does anyone know of any useful tutorials or anything that could help really help someone who is just starting and already understands a the basic terms and an understanding of how DARKbasic works but doesn't know how to put a game together quite yet.

I'd rea;;y appreciate anyone with some advice
Thank you.

interestingly enough, some back issues of the Game Creators newsletter have just that - a space invaders tutorial!

Newsletter main page here
issues 45, 46 and 47 are probably what you are after

This is not the Sig you are looking for....

I wrote the tutorial above as an example of some good coding practises, specifically the use of a State machine. If you can understand this aspect, you'll be well on your way to writing easily modified code. I don't take any credit for the techniques (IanM introduced me to it at one of the conventions), they are standard methods of writing good code.

I think it's better to get more knowledge of DBPro then you will be able to program the game. by the way, this game is very easy to program.
