This was the biggest help in scripting that I'v got.
40 pages worth of help in a txt file, what more could you ask for??

Starts out with some basic stuff, like one of the first things if covers is how to make a sign say something.
Explains everything in very good detail, such as void talk(void) for authors just starting out and do not know how to do anything (Such as me). Tells you how to save a script, were to put it, how to get dink to say something, how to get a sprite to say something, how to get Dink to say something, then get the sprite to say something back, teachs The Freeze and unfreeze procedure, make a sprite say something when getting hit, make a sprite say something when getting hit, then get Dink to say something back, how to combine procedures, Learn how to Make Dink and a Sprite have a conversation, How to have dink ask multiple questions, Have dink do or say something when entering a part of the map, learn the move_stop procedure, learn the sp dir procedure, learn Global and Local Variables, How to add items, weapons, and magic to the inventory, Learn the Fade procedure, and learn the vision procedure.

So in short, learn the basics of DinkC to a tee.
Out of the 40 pages of this txt file, I took 35 pages of notes. I found it very helpful, it covers everything with great detail.

I give it a 9.8, For covering all the basics of Scripting and more
