I want some advice on how to begin using MiniScript.

Hey everyone,

I have been playing around with scripting languages for a while but MiniScript feels a bit different from what I am used to. I am interested in using it for small projects & maybe even for some game development but I am not sure where to begin.

What are the good tutorials to get up to speed quickly?? Are there any best practices that I should keep in mind when writing my first scripts? Also is there a specific part of the language I should focus on to make sure I am using MiniScript effectively?

As well, I found these resources when doing research on this;

& if anyone have any resources, tutorials or personal experiences please share with me, It would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you……. 🙂

Hi there, I think one of the best ways to learn is to jump in and try making stuff. Mini Micro, a virtual computer that uses MiniScript, is the perfect tool for that!

The page has a learn tab that links to books, cheat sheets, and manuals that are great for learning. And I can also recommend this little YouTube series:

I agree with what Max said — download Mini Micro, and jump in! And feel free to ask questions here or on Discord.

(But please be careful — your post above included a link to an unrelated article, which looks suspiciously like spam. I've edited that out for you, but let's not do that again, please and thank you!)
