The Dink Network

Go through the different tutorials on the site, try experimenting a little and finally try making your own small, SIMPLE d-mod (not your epic saga with lots of new gameplay elements). Also, there's no better way to learn than to look at other d-mod's scripts, or those of the original game

And finally, if you stumble on any problems while learning, don't be afraid to ask for help on this forum^^

Good luck!
