Im guessing that your having trouble getting started. Sooo... The first thing that you should do is make an actor (if you didnt know that already). The actor you create (or character) should be your player. When you have done that, go to the actor control, and go to the events section and push the "add" button. There should be a big list of things called events. Now events are actions usually made by the person playing the game, that effect the course of the game. For example: a keydown event, is when the player pushes a key that makes something happen in the game. Like if you press an arrow key in a game, you can make the player walk or something. Now back to game development. You should find the keydown event in the list. When you do, a menu should appear. Press the right arrow key. When you do that, you should see the name of the right arrow key in the box that has the word "key" before it. Then you should press the add action button. An action is simpy a response to an event. There should be a big list of actions. Go through them and find the script editor action. When you do, a big menu should apear. Once you are there type in:
x = x + 5;
This is simply a command to move the actor to the right of the x-axis at five pixels per frame. Then add the action and go to game mode. When you do, press the right arrow key, and your actor should move to the right. To make your actor move to the left, do everything the same, except for when you go to the keydown event, press the left arrow key, and when you go to the script editor, instead of typing x = x + 5; You type in:
x = x - 5;
This is a command to move the actor left on the x-axis at a rate of five pixels per frame. Then when you go to game mode, and you press the left arrow key, you can move your actor to the left.
Well Im very tired of writing now, but if you need anymore help you should keep posting your questions on the forum. This is only a very basic step in game development, if you want to know more basic things you should really see all the tutorials. (located in help) I hope this helps you.
