What I did to learn was I jumped from project to project, playing with Gamestudio. Eventually, when I became strong enough, I focused in on one project. But after experimenting for a while, I learned how to use C-Script and how to build levels and several tips and tricks. Unfortunately, my first REAL project stalled from something no one seemed to be able to solve, but I learned a lot from it. Now I'm working on an RTS game and having a good time.

So my advice to noobies: Experiment.

And Ulililia's right: Start at your level and slowly raise the bar. I've always wanted to build an RTS but that was not where I started. Now I believe I have enough experiance to create one.

Experiment.
