I downloaded RFO Basic for android will it help?

What aspect of SmileBASIC is giving you trouble? Is it trying to come up with the way to perform a task (such as moving something across the screen), or do the general syntax and commands confuse you?

Im pretty much starting completely over. Loading sprites and backgrounds is giving me trouble. I want to make a simple top down racer where you just race up dodging a few items and or a little traffic. I want to start as simple as I can with a scrolling background and a F1 car. After completing this dodge traffic or item racer I wanted to add onto it later with turns and maybe circuit racers

I have no code programmed yet. I was kind of hashing out what I wanted the game to look like and formula 1 would look cool so I was going to start with doing the sprites for the cars and the track background. I think there is a top down racer example I will look at

The problem is that learning programming is REALLY slow. Even something like your simple racer is rather complex for a beginner. Remember how long it took to learn all the math required just to START learning Algebra? It's the same with programming, unfortunately. Algebra isn't that complex, and neither is a simple racer. But they both require a lot of foundation. I mean it won't take you years to make a simple racer lol, but it won't come about instantly either. We really do need a set of tutorials that will teach the basic concepts necessary to be able to make the programs you want. Edit: As for whether or not RFO will help, I'm not sure. If it's more accessible, maybe you'll have an easier time. However, the fundamentals of programming stay the same no matter what language you're using.

Yeah RFO has some real nice tutorials. I will mess with it a bit. I really want to use it a while then come back too SmleBasic. I took a look at the top down racer in the program section. I guess it would be considered simple. But not too me lol. I will keep messing with them both
