The first thing you can do is learn how to ask questions in ways that will let other people help you. There's a FAQ entry about that here:

Also, you probably should read through the Getting Started section:

It sounds to me like the mob is pulling you under. ;-P

Here's a little code to get you started, though I agree with the others strongly that you should take advantage of documtation provided by willing BYONDers!

mob // start with the basic "mob" datum type
     Login() // lots of people use this proc. Login() is always called when a client enters a mob.
          src.name = input("What should your name be?") // you could use the very cool ParseName() proc instead of this if you downloaded the ParseName library!
          world << "[src.name] ([src.key]) Logs In!" // tell everyone in the world that you logged in. This will tell them the name you chose, and your key. No confusion here!
          ..() // this tells the proc to continue on as usual. You will often get unwanted effects and/or errors if you do not include ..() in a Login proc.


Good luck with your coding endeavours, and plese go forth to make the wonderful dream that is in your head!

Then in my opinion you shouldn't even start coding, if the stuff in there confuses you (which is not even 10% of what you have to learn on your own), you will become very lost and give up, or bug us to insanity asking stupid questions.

How do you know you can make a great game if you haven't yet? :p follow the http://zilal.byond.com/zbt.html tutorial... that's all I can say!

Well then read it over and over until it does.

No one here can provide any better help than the ZBT tutorial can.
