Alright , i'm making a mortal combat based game, 4 elements i'm trying to include in it is music, level selection, character selection, and a point based system allowing the players to have health bars that decrease when one hits the other.

I'm a newbie to this so don't lol at me too bad.

I need a little bit of help with.

- adding Turing made music to my program, without stopping the rest of the program to run.
- adding in multiple user controlled sprites
- point system with health bars

thanks, any help will be much appreciated.

I would recommend going through the entire Turing walk through: Here.

After reading through that, if you still have questions feel free to ask them, because most of what you are asking is applying basic concepts with logic.

Truthfully, the elements you talked about are the least of your worries. Just use a procedure to have a 'Choose Character' screen, and load pictures accordingly, and refer to those pictures throughout the battle.
What is much more difficult is teh movement and jumping.

Preferrably, unlesss he needs to loop the music continuouisdly for a long time, and cannot handle Time.Elapsed, he should use that and Music.PlayFileReturn.
