Complete Noob Desperate for Help!

I am learning to use livecode slowly while in my master's course. I was an English major and want to combine my love of gaming with my love of writing. So far, I was having a pretty good time of it, but now I am like stalling out hard and I need some help.
Is anyone familiar with the Rocket Joy Ride assignment/application that is given out to students learning to use Livecode?
If so, are there some specific resources or tutorial videos that anyone could link to me so that I can conquer it? I am behind in work and just barely scrapping by at this point so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Thank you very much. I will look at those later tonight.
Do you know where I can get some help with the Collision code? And Object collision detection?

Thank you so much!
Also, when I am adding in code does it matter where I put the code? Or does it not matter?

Hi eferhilda,
it REALLY DOES matter!
Please read this article to get some more detailed info about the "message hierarchy" in Livecode:
