If possible please provide the documentation I need to get started. I need to get to the nitty gritty of things because I've gone through several languages and am ready to just start doing stuff.
In addition how exactly does one go about integrating bbcode editors into a webpage as the start of a forum site?
You won't like my answer, but you will need to watch a tutorial (or several) on Unity3D. There are a lot of concepts/tools in their software that programming won't teach you.
Once you understand the fundamentals of Unity, the answer should become clear. You will create your scene, and then place a camera that is fixed downward on the Y axis. Attach it to your Gameobject of choice and you'll get camera movement baked in (to some degree).
