Why does my r4 say couldn't find DS menu dat?
you have to download that
The R4i SDHC Card for Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi & DSi XL is a device that allows you to launch games, run applications and play media that you downloaded from the Internet. Place up to 32 gigabytes of files on a microSD or SDHC memory card, insert the card in the R4 slot and turn your DS or DSi on! Playing downloaded games has never been easier. The R4i SDHC is a must-have for all Nintendo DS and DS Lite console owners.
You Can purchase R4i SDHC from www.r4ishop.com
Why is it better than the regular R4 DS or the R4 SDHC? Because the R4i SDHC is compatible with the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL/LL - even consoles flashed with 1.4 firmwares, unlike the original R4 DS. Note that the card contains renewed hardware and thus uses different system files
How do you create a game in Excel in 2003?
Excel is a serious business tool. However, it is also a programming tool, which means that you can program anything you like, even games. You could create simple guessing games by getting Excel to generate random numbers with functions like RANDBETWEEN. You could type in a number in an effort to guess what number would be randomly generated. The types of things you can do with Excel centre around numbers, so more sophisticated games would require something else, like a good programming language, to create them.

How do you make your sprite jump in game maker?
To make your sprite jump in GameMaker, you typically set up a vertical velocity variable that is modified when the jump action is triggered, often by pressing a key (e.g., the spacebar). In the "Step" event, you can apply gravity to the sprite by incrementally decreasing the vertical velocity. When the jump key is pressed and the sprite is on the ground, you set the vertical velocity to a negative value to create the jump effect. Finally, ensure you check for collision with the ground to reset the jump state.
How do you pick up sprites in scratch?
That depends on what you mean. If you mean use it in your program, then just drag it rom the sprite library onto the stage. (The little screen that shows your program)

What is used as timers in game maker?
timers are used to set a time at which something happens. so, for instance, you could put in the 'key press' event for space the button timer and set alarm 0 to 30, which will set it for one second. then in the event alarm0, you could make your object move right. what that would do would be to make it so that one second after you press space, you start moving right.
Hope that makes it more clear!

elsif chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then

Incomplete list, there are dozens.
This is asking how to use a programming language, essentially.
Game Maker 8 [Now 8.1] is a very advanced piece of software for it's price. It's no Unity3D, but it's rather advanced. It can do everything C++ can do, but not efficiently, with a good frames per second (Aka without lag), or within a certain amount of time. While you could in theory make the next Call of Duty: Black Ops, it would be extremely slow, and take forever.
As for how to actually start, you have two paths.
One involves learning the actual-typing-stuff out, and will be taken eventually because it is more efficient, is easier to make, and is the only one that can do 3D.
The other involves dragging multiple items that tell it what to do, and can do very little in comparison to the other.
If you wish to start with the first, open up the Game Maker Documentation. Read it all. That's the best way to start. If you have a question, go to the Game Maker forums [forums.yoyogames.com] , and post a topic in Game Development Issues. If you still need help, Google.com holds all answers.
If you wish to start with the second, try out the tutorials on the site [sandbox.yoyogames.com]. The second option is actually a good starting point; you learn the logic beforehand, then learn to read and write the logic.
Too long; didn't read version:
Google.com is your friend. Game Maker Documentation is your BFF. Game Development Issues forum is your girlfriend. Do not expect to make anything good within the first week, maybe even month. Do not expect to make Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
