I agree with buttsfredkin. I started my Pokemon Game with no experience in Axe (but with knowing Basic) and I got a non-optimized Pokemon Game but still a Pokemon Game. Then, I noticed some stupid things in my code and optimized and all and now I'm pretty proud of me

In French we say "C'est en forgeant qu'on devient forgeron"
In English, in the context it would give "It is while programming that we learn how to program" or something. So... watcha waitin' for ?!? Start coding !!!!

anywhere i can just start on general game mechanics for axe? i know limited basic stuff, just need to get further to get going.
Well, before coding, you should read the Commands.html, and get to know what a pointer is.
