Hello! How can I learn to use this game better? I bought it about a year ago, but I stopped because as soon as I read all of the manual I had no where else to go for intsructions. But I'm back now and my motive for game making is too! I know people CAN make games, but, how? Is there a website that teaches you? How can I learn yo use this? Help from pros is appreciated.

I'm not anywhere near being a pro, but when I was using this, the place where I got the most help was here on Miiverse. Just ask questions on here, and usually everyone is happy to help. You can also go on YouTube, and look up PetitProfesser3D. I don't know if he still uploads videos, but his old videos will probably still help you.

Basically, we have a bunch of tools and parts. Our tools are places you can get help, like SBS and Miiverse (or the reference manual accessible using the ingame blue question mark button, or the help button). Our parts are the pieces of code that make our program work, like variables, loops, and "action functions". Variables can store a plethora of data, depending on how you format them.

Some examples of variable types are: integer - Can store a single whole number like -1, 0, 1, 2 realtype - Can store a single decimal number like -1, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1 string - Can store a 'string' of characters like "hello world" < take note it needs the quotes array - Can store multiple realtypes. string array - Can store multiple strings.

Example usages of these variables: integer - store how many fish have you collected so far realtype - store an input from the circle pad, like -0.345 string - store a name that the user typed in array - store map data string array - store a help manual

Practical usages of these variables: integer: FISH% = 10 realtype: X = 0.167 string: NAME$ = "daniel mcgee" array: DIM ARR[10] ARR[0] = 99 PRINT ARR[0] string array: DIM ARR$[10] ARR$[0] = "hello world" PRINT ARR$[0]
