I understand that any new language/environment can be confusing... which is kinda why I recommended that you READ the Getting Started manual. Did you try this approach?

Unlike a video game, "Messsing around" with a new programming language isn't the best way to get started any more (even for experienced programmers).

Trying to just "guess" the basics won't work.

Open the user manual, use a tutorial, look at the templates that have been provided for teams, read some help files.. heck... as a last resort... ask an adult to help you learn it.

If this doesn't work for the first language you try, try another.

Your first goal should just be to get the robot moving... the fun starts after that.

Phil.
