I'm war and I have a LOT I want to do but I don't really know how to script or rally continue my game. I was hoping someone could help? Right now I just want a battle system like this: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/647411 (it'll take 30 seconds to run into a battle after creating your character.)

Basically A to dodge, D to attack, etc etc. And if anyone wants to teach me a SHIT TON of stuff or interested in my game, feel free to say so. haha

It would appear as if the default game engine isn't super far away from this.  Otherwise, you'll likely have to code it yourself.  Battle systems are pretty hard to code, and I'd be surprised if somebody just coded it for you.

Teach a man to fish, etc. I WANT to learn but I have difficulties with mostly time and motivation, so self learning is entirely too slow. I'd love for all sorts of people to teach me how to do all sorts of things so I could do this by myself and i have no illusions about the difficulty and time that will take.

The problem is that no one is really going to spend their time trying to teach you the core basics of programming just so that you have a better understanding of how to even begin writing a battle system. You could learn how to event it yourself--would take a while, but definitely faster than learning how to code.

If you're still young, take a programming course. Otherwise, prepare to fork over money if you're not willing to learn on your own.

Fair, but any tips, ideas, direction and general "hello" is all good too. first, does anyone know if anything like this battle system has been made before?
