Ok, I've read the tutorials on this site what do you guys suggest I do next? Basically what's a good way to start. Do I look over other game's source code and reverse engineer it or do I just learn the script language tag by tag? I don't expect to make an epic RPG or even a game I just wanna play with the language and see what I can do with it(nerd, yeah I know). Also if you guys have any links for other Verge sites I'd appreciate it.

www.vergesource.com The biggest verge message board/vile repository going on now.

The way I started, I just made a few maps and simple chrs and threw 'em together to see what I could do. Make a small demo that does a variety of things; textbox, menus, item systems, etc.

As TheGerf says, start out with a few simple maps and characters. I ripped a few tiles and CHRs, threw together some simple stuff and just made it work.
But once you got the basics down, try challenging yourself a bit. Try something that you don't -think- you're capable of. Back in the day, I tried making a battle system almost immediately after my initial excercises (and I knew nothing of programming), and to my surprise, it actually worked. Working on something beyond your abilities means you learn a lot in very little time, even if you fail every so often. And there's always IRC if you get in too deep.

An archive of Hours of Verge (a contest of sorts) games. They're usually pretty basic and include code most of the time so you could probably learn a thing or two from them if you're so inclined.

Ben McGraw's lovingly crafted this website from scratch for years.
It's a lot prettier this go around because of Jon Wofford.
