I'm brand new to Dark BASIC and am looking for an understanding of the programming! I want to make a game but have no clue where to start. Tutorials don't help, because i'm just copying and pasting things I don't understand. HELP MEEEE!

Tutorials are really the only way to go. It's just a case of finding one that explains it in a way you understand it. And only YOU can stop yourself copying and pasting!

I suggest you start small, maybe with some simple text and input commands. Try making a program that let's you enter your name and your age, then prints it. My first program was just a text adventure. Remember, you're not going to create a great and revolutionary on you're first go. Plus, you should definately a good idea to use the tutorials.
