I Tip:

1. When you're writing scripts for everything, don't try to go the easy way and copy them in Windows by choosing the file and hitting copy. That will make them not work and the game crash.
Instead, take the time to create new files and copy the text only instead

2. Be super careful when you're creating moving sprites in DinkEdit; you make a pig, give it a pig brain and whatnot. If you then want to add some grass to the screen, first click on a fixed background sprite, like another piece of grass or a fence or the likes. If you make the next sprouts of grass straight after the pig/monster, the editor will copy the moster brain for them, too, and when Dink comes to the screen they will morph into animals and wander around.
