Uniq:

Welcome to the forum. There are a number of ways to start learning how to do the things that you mentioned. You might want to start by working through the tutorials that are given to you within GE's Help feature. You might wish to read the documentation that comes with GE. Another possibility, would be to search the forum for "keydown" or activation area. The Demo section also has a tutorial by Makslane that you can work through. I know that the temptation is to jump right in and start making a game, but if you take the time to do some or all of the things listed above, you will learn how to use GE much more quickly.

Your game will use GE's "keydown" Event and could also use GE's Activation Region feature. It would be very easy to put together. Use one Activation Region for your "Splash" screen and another Activation for you game screen. On the keydown event, move to the game activation area.

HTHs... GE takes a little study, but it is a very powerful program and worth the effort.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
