What is a good RPG to look at the source code. I'm a newbie and i want to learn the more complicated routines. I do have some experience so i don't want something too simple. I currently am trying to look over "...in the nocturn" but some of it's over my head. Does anybody have an suggestions?

You better start coding it on your own and when you get stuck look for specific code on where you got stuck. A complete game is just too much code to try to understand.
I'd rather start with something easy. Something with no scroll and in SCREEN 7.

Well the thing is that I've done the basic stuff...I've done all of DarkDreads tuts. I want to get more complex. So should I just start and go till i get stuck...I really just wanted to learn how all these different thing work together...because all the tuts I have are just individual parts of a game.

Start with the basics. I started out with a tile by tile non scrolling engine, made it into a pixel by tile non scrolling, tile by tile scrolling and now i'm up to pixelxpixel scrolling engine. The best thing to do i think is to tinker with your code. change it and do what you can to make it better.

you can convert your pixel scroller into a tile*pixel byt using a loop.
