Hi,
I don't know much in BGT as it goes with all the functions and stuff, however I understand the syntax. The language I  know is python at this point, but I've had the same success in learning the base of BGT and python. So like you previously said, you want to learn how to make games. I would just suggest looking at other code. Modify it until it does something different, and in general just play around with everything and see what it does. Still, start with the alert function, input_box, simple things like that until you pick up more advanced stuff. I find the BGT manual lacking on beginner instruction in a way, so your not the only one. Its like those books you read on programing where the first chapters make you feel good about the things you have learned. They're also really easy and explain everything pretty well. But after that, the thing just falls out. With no warning, it starts using advanced terms. I faced the same issues just getting the concept of python. Once you get over the beginner challenges, you will begin to see the  fun in coding. Most people who've tried to learn obsess over the thought of this is too hard, and therefor never learn.

Yeah, I got that. When I said I know a handful of C#, I meant I know enough to not be intimodated by code haha. There's still tons of questions I have that the BGT manual doesn't explain.

I read through the entire language tutorial, even though I knew most of what it said. I read through all of it just because I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything I may not have known. The part I find confusing is the little game tutorials. I didn't like how it just told you to copy and paste the code and then briefly explain what it did. That being said, the first problem I was having that I wasn't able to figure out is the following:

I was trying to get a Sidescroller set up, so naturally, I needed to set up the walking first. I made an array from 0 to 50, and a variable PlayerSteps. If I wanted to have my player step right, I have have key_pressed right, bla bla bla, and then PlayerSteps++. Vice versa with walking left. The problem I'm running into is how to get that to translate to the array, so each time he moves, it corresponds with the position in the array. Once I've got the steps set up, I was going to figure out how to manipulate sounds and all that. Sorry if this is an obvious question lol. Thank you for your help so far man.

That's just about what I was going to suggest, Victorious. :-)
I figured out that in most simpler games like sidescrollers, an array to represent the actual board just is not needed at all in most cases. The player can use a single integer to represent their position like this and enemies, items etc can usually do the same without any serious issues.
