write it out on paper (game ideas), start going through the tuts, and finally check the snippets section for areas your code may be lacking...

Other than that it's pretty hard to say where to start.. I mean, not knowing your abilities and such...

and by all means pls be patient and try to work things out, no need for posting help for every minute section of code like some of the others here...

Well first you switch to project view mode. Click the blue media button. Now go to the top of the thing and click "add". This should come up with a small box asking you for the location of your file. I would recommend clicking the "copy media media file(s) into current directory" checkbox". Browse for your file and load it.
loading example:

That's about it! Hope I helped. Oh and about your game, I agree with Heckno. Plan it out. Are you going to make it 2d or 3d? What's the point of the game? Basic planning stuff. I recommend getting a pad of paper to draw out your ideas.
<edit> I doubt anyone is going to help you step by step through out the game without knowing some details of what's going on. Come up with a specific question to ask.

Try to refrain from bumping posts until they're 2 days old AND on the second page of threads.

you have to put the file extension there also. Also make sure it is in the same directory as you project

no, it's very simple once you get the hang of the basics....

media files ( images, 3-d models, music, etc..) can come in several different formats...

example -> picture formats could be jpg, bmp, tga, dds, etc.... all a little different with thier own special purposes...

when you load media you just need to remember to let DB know format it is so the compiler can properly translate the file for output..

example of mp3 file


load music "pcg.mp3",1
do
program code here
loop

just remember that your computer is dumb, it doesn't know if "pcg" is a wave file, midi file, bitmap image file, word document ect.. unless you tell it...

What is that. dont do that. You'll get the error music already exists or something. You would have to use load music above the loop and then loop music in the loop.

Either way works fine. I tested.

[edit]Actually with you way will it actually loop the music? I know the command says to but if the loop never gets back to the command after the initial start will it loop?

to make a dragonball z game i'd use 3d. before you start you need something to model. I suggest Milkshake. You can load a drawing of a frontal view and side view and then from there make the layout. check out www.psionic.com for a couple tutorials. For collision justtype in the following code.
(desired name) = if (buttonx)=1 then play frame 2-30
set object radius (obj1), (desired radius)
set object radius (obj2), (desired radius)
If you want to do it 2d or 1st person i cant help you.

this guys a (insert your own comment)!
he gave up trying to program just because he could load a file? I bet he didnt even read the help files! how else could he have made those mistakes!

Also its Milkshape not Milkshake, but dont worry ive made that mistake on numerous ocassions!

If anyone wants the full version of milkshape 3D for free then email me!
relith@cox.net

later!

Cheers,
