Hi everybody.

I would like to know how to make an RPG so that the character graphic
moves corresponding to the arrow key you press

then i'd like it so that when a player press's SPACE the character attacks another character thats nearby and deals damage.

can sombody either give me a link or post a sample piece of code for me to look at.

thx in advance

wow, I've replied to all your posts so far...

To be honest, I don't think you'll get many replies to this. A lot of people will frown upon posts like this asking for code on how to make an RPG.

The only advice I can really give you is to take a look in the game programming forum, and read up on the XNA framework. I've never used it, but I've read good things about it.
[oh, how many times I've said that about XNA now... maybe it's time I tried it...]

Creating a RPG is a quite hard task. Anyway, take a look here:

GameDev Wiki

You can find some reference there. To be more specific, here:

C# Game Programming

anyother links ??

Making even a simple RPG takes a lot of effort. Maybe you should start just by taking simple programming tutorials (like here)?

Ok Cheers

Creating an RPG from the ground up when you're just starting out is quite a daunting task. If you want, there is an application called RPG Maker XP which is decent to say the least. It gives you fully loaded characters/maps/sets/battle scenes/ etc. All of it is fully customizable as well. I believe the scripting language they use is Ruby.

can you do it in the Dark GDK ??

Then go learn C++ before you want to do something. Besides, what does it matter to the end user wether you coded it in Ruby or C++? Most people won't be able to tell...

It's clear that you've got a lot to learn about all this. After learning a few weeks of C++ (I'm a silly student, I can barely remind things), I was able to make a text based RPG..

I'd say: appreciate what the other people wrote here, it's good advice and they took the time to awnser you.

PS: This is the damn C# section, not the C++ section. God damn it, kid learn to read! </rage>
