I am starting my quest for superior GE knowledge. My first question is what are the GE commands, how do they work, when is it best to use them, and if there was another command you could use to get the job done why would you use that command instead of the other

That's a bit much to explain in a single topic. You might try looking at the wiki's help page. Or we can start a pm conversation and I can teach you separately. I've done it for a few other users, and they've all learned quite a lot.

I'd like a pm teaching.

Before you jump into coding I will tell you your 1st problem. Write down on a piece of paper what type of game you want to make, what features , power-ups, level design , levels, and enemy types you would like to make. After you designed your game , then start coding. Trying to make a game on a whim will lead to a mess. I know because I made a couple of messes myself in the past.

Well making a game is like writing a book, designing it will give a clear visual of it, but most likely alot would change. TTM originally was set to have power-ups, but then I decided not to. TTM originally was set for hp, then I changed my mind, and now everything has hp. TTM originally was not going to change graphics, but everything has changed. It was supposed to have 10 levels, but now only has 3 with a plan of having an extras option. So having a set plan can lead to better results of quality

You need to be dedicated to do a certain timer everyday: reading documentation. And the other half, playing around with GE.

That's what I've done:
1. I watched all the GE built-in tutorials
2. I looked at many demos starting from the simplest
3. If I had problems understanding a demo, I looked at the Script Reference, used the search engine or asked in the forum.
4. I started many projects. I never finished them, but it was a good exercise.

Hope this helped!
