I am wanting to learn more about writing DMODs. I had some C++ classes in college and can fumble my way thru JavaScript. However, I don't want anything too technical - at first anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions for good tutorials on writing code for DMODs? I have played many DMODs and ejoyed hundreds of hours of playing Dink. I'd like to give back a little if possible. Thanx.

I can't think of any particular names of files right now, though there are some good tutorials out there. You may want to check out my Tutorial d-mod..though thats not very good to be honest.

The best advice I can give is to get a d-mod with open source (like...Cloud Castle) and read the scripts, as most are not too complicated.

Well, you should look for tutorials about DinkC, the DinkC Reference is also very handy and like Sabre said, look at other scripts. You should also get used with the editor and don't start with an epic right away

Hmmm... you could give my file TROS (Rudiments of Scripting) a try. I've just updated it. It's for real starters, and it's only about the basic stuff.
