What is it you are trying to achieve? So basically my brother suggested that I make a text based adventure game with Turing. I accepted the challenge and I want to make the program all nice and pretty and text-based-adventury. I have noticed that text based adventure games aren't the same unless it's a black background with white text. I don't know how to make white text for all of my text in the program. Any and all help is appreciated! -Matt Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 |

Text.Color sets the color of the text. |

One more question, how would I make the entire screen black? I did the Draw.Fill but if I do that then when I put colour white it just makes the whole line white. EDIT: Also I need to think of a good name for the game but I got nothing, any suggestions? |

Text.Colorback Unfortunately, I don't think turing can make transparent colors, so you'll just have to have black highlighting. |

If i do the text.colourback(black) then it just makes the current line black and not the whole screen. |

Yes. You'll still have to use the fillbox. |

I recommend using Font.Draw instead of the color and put commands, much more customizable. |

Yes, but making your own usable font out of Font.Draw when your fairly new isn't quite as easy |

If you use colorback, and call cls immediately after you'll color the whole screen. |
