RYUK'S PROFILE

Hey guys! first of all...

I'm sure this is asked a lot but.. RM2k3 / RMXP / RMVX which is the best for beginners? is it just personal preference? which has the most resources available?

Secondly whats the best way to start out, just tinkering with everything available? or jumping right into making a game and learning as i go?

aaand lastly, if i wanted to make scripts to change things such as combat, is there a good tutorial on how to write scripts for rpg maker?
