Welcome, Beginner Programmer!

YouÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re a beginner so I bet your having a little trouble with the DM language.
This will be put into 3 parts.

To begin, Use these for coding help!

(Below is the DM Guide, It teaches you all you would need to know!)
DM Guide

(Below is the DM Reference, If you have a question, Look it up here!)
DM Ref

A-I - Basic features of HTML such as bold, underline, italics, etc...

B-II - Some basic coding

C-III - Some tutorials and resources

* A-I Basic HTML

You can use things like this to make more noticed text, and such.

Bold, Use put B between <> and when you want bolding to stop, use /b between <>.

Italics, Use B between <> and to stop it, Use /i between <>.

Underline, Use U between <> and to stop it, Use /u between <>.

Font Color, Use font color=*color* between <> and replace *color* with your color, to stop it use /font color between <>.

Some colors are:

Red
Green
Yellow
Black
White
Pink
Lime
Blue

Fonts, Use font face=*font* between <> replace *font* with yours. To end that font use /font face between <>.

Some fonts are:

Times New Roman
Papyrus
Courier New
Tekton Pro

So that about wraps up this part.

* B-II Basic Code

Okay, So some basic code is like login, logout, world say, etc...

Here is the VERY basic code for these:
The commentary will help you understand what it does/stands for

mob // YOU!
    Login() // Call the proc
        world<<"[src] has joined" // Outputs a message that you joined
    Logout() // Call the Logout proc
        world<<"[src] have left" // Output this message that you left.
        del src //Makes it so you dont have motionless "shells" of the player that logged out

mob/verb
    OCC(msg as text) //msg as text means thatÃƒÂ¢Ã¢Â‚Â¬Ã¢Â„Â¢s the var you use to represent the players message
        if(!msg) return //Makes it so if you dont say anything, nothing appears
        world<<"[src]: [msg]"  // Output your message!
mob/verb
    Say(msg as text)
        if(!msg) return // Same as OCC
        view()<<"[src] says: [msg]"
mob/verb
    Whisper(mob/M in world, msg as text)
        if(!msg) return // Same!
        M<<"[src] whispers: [msg]" // Show the message to your friend or the person your whispering to

Of course you can make those more. Like
Bolding it
Italicizing
Different Colors
Different fonts

Heres a basic statpanel:

mob/Stat() // Uh basically it makes the statpanel
    statpanel("Stats")  //Make the tab
    stat("Level:",src.Level)  //Put something in it!

* C-III Wrap up

Ok so here are my tutorials. They can help you get started!
