OK, but that's a bit too specific. health, experience, shops, coins, maps, etc
You were thinking of a top-down 2D scroller, right? There's a bunch of ways to do that; the easiest is the homescreen RPG, which is a very solved problem. For example, TIFreak8x has written an RPG SDK, and even Sonlen has been working on understanding the mechanics of such game engines.

um... I guess. I dont know the exact type of game this is going to be.
I think that deciding that would be an excellent place to start, and will help you decide what else you'll need to learn to prepare for writing this game. adamac15 wrote:

Right, but RPG is just a gameplay genre. There are 2D RPGs, 3D RPGs, text-based RPGs, even some FPS RPGs. You'll have to be much more verbose about what you have in mind.
I didnt know all that existed.
a 3D RPG.

Bah, silly Omnimaga members and their love for hyperbole. 
No offense to your current skillset at all,but I think that a 3D RPG might be outside of your abilities currently, or indeed even mine. Do you actually mean a 2D topdown sidescroller?

The Homescreen is the screen you use for calculations, running programs, etc. You will have to use text sprites for this (which IMO, don't look that good)
The Graphscreen is where you graph lines, draw text in small font, and have a lot more graphics commands. You can use a more advanced form of text sprites here by OR'ing letters together, or you could use xLib and make sprites with that.

You should check out this. It has all of the xLib commands. For sprite displaying and tilemapping, you should look at these links.
