If I understand correctly your problem is you bring up the editor and stare at the empty editor screen.

My suggestion is this. Before you use the DB editor, plan out what you want your game to be. What you want it to do.

Then think about how you can do each of the things you want your program to do in DBC/DBP. (What commands, math, logic, etc would work to allow it to function in the way you wish.)

Or is your question what you should try to program first to learn the language?

If you are a beginner, you could start with experimenting with text commands and things like that, without real grafics.

yeh.. if you have no real programming experience, or just even no experience with db/dbpro, just play around with text functions.. try writing out different programs, and understanding them!

for example, the first program i ever wrote i coppied out of a book. it was for QBasic but i explain it here.. try and change some of the parmeters, lines, etc..



try reading the tutorials, and the help/examples that come with DB/DBpro too, as they can be extremely useful
