Welcome to the retake of Taran's famous "Scripting for Dummies tutorials" and information. His tutorial was made for Sphere 55i, but now that Sphere 56b is about to be released we have decided to rewrite his tutorials and update the information to reflect the latest changes and additions.

Where should I start?

If you want to learn to script for Sphere 56b you should start by first reading the Setting Up Sphere section. It will teach you how to set up a basic empty world to start your path. After that you should try reading the Tutorials, go slow, don't try to go through everything in one day as it takes time to read and fully understand everything.

I learned how to script! And now?

If you have finished the 10 chapter then we encourage you to read the tutortials and other articles below. They may not be as important as the others but they are still quite useful and contain lots of useful information. Try making your own scripts and share with others at the Forums. You can also ask for help if you can't resolve something by yourself. Remember to use the Reference Compendium below as it is really useful.

Maintaining the information on this site involves a huge amount of work and not many of us have the time to do it. If you wish to help out then please feel free to do so!
