Haha my bad Obsidian

The best first language is the one you feel the most comfortable with using. If it's C that looks the friendliest, learn it. If it's ASP.NET, learn it (and then run), if it's PHP, learn it.

Just find something that you like.

Where could I found out about PHP?

Well, there's several sites. First off is PHP's official site, http://www.php.net, but that doesn't teach you the programming basics, it's more geared towards the programmers that know how to code already. For a beginner, I'd say http://w3schools.com/ would be a good place to start.

Also, as an FYI, PHP is a server-side web development language.

Well whats something good to teach me how to fix the GUI in my map?

That I couldn't tell you. I don't work with Sandbox, so that'll have to be Mike, Clownfish, or maybe Hirato that answers that question.

So you work for Platinum Arts, but you dont use their products? Haha nice. ok, I'll probably ask Hirato.

Thanks
Danny

Why don't you start with some basic cubescript and then start getting into the c++? Take a look at the save the princess example on the wiki and then go from there into stuff like the code from village. Take care.
