I'm kind of interested. But don't despise me if I randomly leave for two weeks and then come back like "what are we doing now?" because that's just me.

I learned a lot from playing fun levels. Then opening them up with JCS and looking at how they were built. Like the extremely cool parts. I opened up the level with JCS and checked out how they did those cool parts so I could mimic something similar in my own levels.

I learned everything on my own with some slight help from blur. Only once, I used jcsref to help me with water in my levels. Other than that, you can learn a lot from other people.
