As the title says. No offence to the DBPro team but the tutorials on the website aren't that helpful I was wondering if anyone has made a tutorial or knows someone who does tutorials?

If There Is A Problem, Find The Question.

See the top of the board called DBP Newcomer's Corner.

Have you looked at this thread?

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=115633&b=7

There's lots of helpful stuff in there. It's stickied at the top of the Newcomer's Board. TDK's tutorials for beginners are particularly helpful

EDIT: BMacZero got here first... I left the post unfinished for a while and posted later...

If you want to do 2D scrolling, this post is very helpful. It's an old post, but the code still compiles and runs. It shows the basics of scrolling, collision, and tile maps.

Have you not gone through the principles section in the help file? It is fairly good for showing the basics of DB programing. I am not sure from your post if you are totally new, and don't know how to to the most basic things, or already know a bit and just are not sure of some of the more db specific commands.
I find it hard to find much on physics and online multi player for instance. There are bits here and there, but no real gritty tutorials. I bought dark physics as soon as it was released, but due to never understanding it, haven't used it a lot(bang went my hopes for a driving sim that I foolishly thought I may be able to try. I always wanted to make one since first sitting down to play the original Outrun in the arcades).
