Well my good friend, Welcome to the wonderful and frustrating realm of the DM Language.

Heres a few pointers you should take in before venturing further.

1. No one likes a rip so stay clear from "other sources" especially way of the shinobi sourcs and DBZ zeta sources.
2. Well thats pretty much it, other then have fun learning and making games :p.

heres a couple of links to stick you in the right direction.

1. The almighty DM Guide your first stop for all your language needs (well not really but its the basis): http://www.byond.com/docs/guide/
2. The next almighty DM related thing would be ze reference search this on stuff you may not understand: http://www.byond.com/docs/ref/
3. the dream makers section the gold mine of coding knowledge sorta. read these guides there packed full of goodies: http://www.byond.com/members/DreamMakers
also visit the libraries and demo links in that section to for the grand art of byond demos.

and theirs plenty of other linkies to but thats the basics for now
