Start with Beginner's Resources; it has a few simple tutorials on there. I recommend Rysen's and Overkill's. Remember to read the documents before, or as you start experimenting with the engine.

I thought that'd been highlighted in brilliant orange in the menu so that nobody would miss it. Sigh. Nevermind. Also, fool around with a few games' source code: that comes in really useful. It's in all the files with a .VC extension. It's straight text, so I suggest opening it up with your favourite text editor (not Notepad... Try Textpad).

Yeh being fairly new and benefiting from the tutorials myself i would reccomend Overkill's second tutorial because its the most easy to understand.
Also pull apart a game and change the text around to see what it does. I used the game "A tropical Adventure" by Ratagash and immortal as a base point. I hope they don't mind. But now I'm working on my own game that includes a lot of stuff that i learnt from them.

If you're looking for games to fiddle with, I heartily (and gratuitously) recommend "Parallel 7," a demo in the archives I had a little hand in making.
Nobody minds you messing with their source code, so long as you don't re-upload it and pass it off as your work :-).

If you give credit for the original code you modified, sure. [Actually, if they don't ask for credit, you don't have to give it to them...but it's just a polite thing to do.]

Don't assume all code will neatly cut and paste into your game and work just fine: some will, some won't. Some code is *written* to be portable while other stuff is heavily reliant on other code in a game and is pure hell to move to something else.

Actually, anyone and everyone is free and clear to use the sully code and modify it to their heart's delight.
That's why it's there!

Point. I mean, the source code for Sully (what do you mean you haven't READ it?!) is littered with comments that enthusiastically encourage that you copy large portions of it. It's pretty rocking cool, too.

You bet! In the very early stages of game creation, I copied and pasted embarrasingly large amounts of Sully's code. My menu framework is shamefully similar. But doing that really got the ball rolling. Starting from complete scratch would have been much, much more difficult and discouraging, and I really learned a lot from making my own scripts and functions interact with those from Sully. So thanks!

Weeell, a fair question, but unfortunately I think it'll be another few months before I can release anything I'd want to put my name on. Procrastination is a harsh mistress!
Now where's that Make-A-Deadline-For-Yourself thread...?

It's in General Discussion, hidden deep within the pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply, because most of us bite off more than we can chew (it's a tradition I reluctantly gave in to... *sigh*).
