Where to begin?

Hello! I'm a beginner to learning SmileBASIC. I had recently came up with an idea for a platforming game, however as a beginner to SB I'm not exactly sure where to begin. I was thinking of making a sidescroller with shooting mechanics similar to that of Cave Story. If anyone has any advice on where to begin or how to even begin I'd like to hear your advice. Thank you very much for reading this post. :)

I feel like it's necessary at this point to clarify what version you're using.

He means SB for 3DS or Switch _{( Swich-version is only released in Japan )}

If you already have some experience, you can try to modify the integrated examples. Otherwise, it's best to start with something simple and basic for your program. (Printing text and moving sprites with buttons, etc.).

I'm using SB for 3DS. Sorry for not specifying. ^^;

Gotcha, Thank you! :)

@randomous' How to Program Tutorials are a pretty good place to learn the basics if you don't have any programming knowledge yet. Once you've gotten the hang of things with those tutorials, his Simple Bullet Tutorial puts a lot of those concepts into practice.
