Stupid me

Ok, so i'm reading thru this site, i can now load up the demo and edit the terrain :|
what is the BEST tutorial to help make ure first game, i really cant get to grips with the sdk at all, do i actually need c++ at all (which i would prefer) or is it a case of use a standard exe file and just edit the script (i hope not)

cheers

    First learn where things are, then begin altering values. . .you want you player to jump like superman cranks up the jumpForce in the player datablock. You think black smoke is outdated change its color. Start noticeing how damage is applied, evenually you will see how things work. If you don't have Ken Finley's Book I'd recommend you get it.

    When you get 3DGAI1 book. Do all the exercises. Type out all the scripts. Use winmerge to help find your errors. You will find most errors are not from the book, but from typos. This is a great teacher and helps you troubleshoot scripts. Also goto www.codesampler.com. He has some great tutorials to begin with. Then do the tutorials in the docs section. The more you work with it, the more you learn. The getting started page has alot of info as well. Just need to read and study it.
