...but you don't know how to begin, don't remember all of the commands/functions, etc. off the top of your head, where do you start?

I need some encouragement to get of my figurative bum and get moving.

You start at the beginning.

I just open up one of my older games and look at that code to get in the mood.

Might help, but I'm trying a new language. BlitzMax instead of DarkBasic.

Blitz has been around since Amiga and is about a bajillion times faster. Not to mention it doesn't have $20 plug-ins (Except for Blitz3D SDK, but at least that's actually worth more than one program feature).
