Awesome! Keep on going!

In the future:

 mob
    Verb
       Say(msg as text)
         world << "[usr], [msg]"


use the dm tag. put "dm" in angle brackets (<>) at the start of the ode, and put "/dm" in angle brackets at the end. easy. That makes your posts easy to read.

Bold, Underline, and Italix can also be done with similar tags.

Good. Now try a larger game... like a "tank battle" style game. that's real easy.

Also for posting on the forums you can have a little code window like this:

mob/var/hi=0


This makes it easier to see the code, to do this first do <*dm> and after you are done with the code do </*dm>

Note: Take away the *

Yea,thats good!

Hey,um guys what do you think of my Attact erb
mob
   verb
       Attack()
           var/damage=rand(1,Strength)
           src.HP-=damage


i skipped all the chater in the attack proc but if I included like usr<<"you hit blah" and so on would this be a decent Attack verb or a sucky one?

mob
   verb
       Attack()
           var/damage=rand(1,Strength)
           src.HP-=damage


That's a very interesting attack verb.. when you press the verb, the client using the verb will get the damage! Yay for origanility!

Nah, seriously, this is better:
mob
   verb
       Attack(mob/M as mob in oview(1))
           var/damage=rand(1,usr.Strength)
           M.HP-=damage


Always define the target!

Edit: Whoops, made a small mistake in the code, fixed!

The following is my actual first attempt at coding(I've read the DM Guide and skimmed over the referance, also looked at many demos):
mob/verb/Attack_Someone(mob/M in oview(1))
    if(usr.paralyzed||usr.frozen)
        return
    var/def=rand(1,M.defense)
    def=def*M.speed
    if(def>=40)
        def=def*10
        def=def/rand(1,20)
    var/atk=usr.attack
    atk=atk*usr.speed
    if(atk>40)
        atk=atk*10
        atk=atk/rand(1,20)
    if(def>=atk)
        view(5)<<"[M.name] dodged [usr.name]'s attack!"
        return
    var/dam=def-atk
    M.hp-=dam
    usr.energy-=dam/usr.endurance/2
    view(5)<<"[usr.name] inflicts [dam] damage to [M.name]!"
    M.hpcheck()
mob/var
    hp=100
    atk=10
    def=2
    speed=2
    energy=100
    endurance=0
mob/proc/hpcheck()
    if(src.hp<=0)    
        world<<"[src.name] has died!"
        del src

mob
    verb/Attack(mob/M in oview(1))
        var {def=round(rand(1,M.def)*M.speed);atk=usr.atk;dam=round(def-atk)}
        if(usr.paralyzed||usr.frozen) return
        if(def>=40) {def=round(def*10/rand(1,20));atk=round(atk*usr.speed)}
        if(atk>40) atk=round(atk*10/rand(1,20))
        if(def>=atk) {view(5)<<"[M] dodged [usr]'s attack!";return}
        M.hp-=dam
        usr.energy-=round(dam/usr.endurance/2)
        view(5)<<"[usr] inflicts [dam] damage to [M]!"
        M.hpcheck()
    var {hp=100;atk=10;def=2;speed=2;energy=100;endurance=0;paralyzed;frozen}
    proc/hpcheck()
        if(src.hp<=0) {world<<"[src] has died!";del src}

This thread is a bit meaningless.
