Editing someone else's code is harder than coding your own game from scratch, especially if it's sloppy. If you get a 'mall source' you're still going to have to learn how to code if you want to make your own game.

Dude, you can't type the english language correctly. The correct phrase is "I could learn well." By getting a source code you're just going to steal the way other people did things themselves and will eventually be stuck if you wanted to add a new thing aside from the source code.

It depends on how best he learns...
I've never read any demo's any tutorial's, and I've only looked in the DM Refrence 5 times in a year and 2 months, I learnt entirely from reading Dragonball Zeta source, and then trial and error, and people don't think I've turned out that badly, everyone is diffrent, I can't learn anything just by looking at a tutorial or a list of commands, I have to see it in action, then read the code, then I can write my own using the same commands, for me, I would never have been able to learn DM any other way than reading existing source code, I know this cause I tried other languages, I spent months trying to learn php through tutorials, got nowhere, then someone sent me one of their scripts, next day I was able to do basic php coding, within a week I was better than them.

I know I'm likely to get flamed in some form of way for this, but it had to be said.
