so i want to write cool software in dbpro. I have saw many people making cool software like map editor, matrix editor, model editor etc. i wanna do it too. So where do i start from, what do i make first, what do i need? Please help!

Well, you normally start at the start and end at the end...

Start on something simpler to start with - a good place to start would be noughts & crosses (teaches positioning and simple AI).

Well, apps are slightly harder than games in some respects.

If you want things like buttons etc. you'll have to write functions to do this. Apps are generally written in 2D, so make sure you know to do 2D well.

You'll have to structure them like a game, ie.

Load all stuff

do

- Draw controls
- Check if user is interacting
--> Do something if yes
- Display some sort of feedback, maybe a grid of matrix tiles or a view of a model
- Sync

loop

Functions (eg. buttons + other stuff)
