    If you just got TGB today, don't cherry-pick just the tutorials that look similar to your dream game. Go through all the tutorials, building your skills up.

    Even if you got such a kit, it will be loaded with 100's or 1000's of lines of code which would be overwhelming if you do not have the basics down. I would start at the top of the TGB documentation Table of Contents and work your way down to the end. At the end of that, you can either choose to start rolling your own game from scratch or pick content packs that might speed things along.

    It is possible to do it, just do as the guys said before me, do all of the tutorials from top to bottom. TGB comes with an offline documentation and there is the TDN, they both come in handy.

    The offline documentation has tutorials for beginners to advanced, if I am correct, it starts you off with a fish demo tutorial, then a fish game tutorial, then going on with more complex stuff like multiplayer checkers!

    If you finish all the tutorials, all you need to know is how to make 2D art and your all set!
