var font1:int
var number:int:=15
The command Font.Draw (" ", x,y,font1,red)
why does it not let me use Font.Draw(number,x,y,font1,red)?

i think that only a string can be used. so instead of:

code:

Font.Draw(number,x,y,font1,red)

do this:

code:

Font.Draw(intstr(number),x,y,font1,red)

for something like this if you looked in the help it would say the syntax required, which includes the var type for each parameter.

You sure can do that. Check out the last parameter to the Font.Draw function:
The Turing Reference wrote:

Font.Draw (txtStr : string, x, y, fontID, Color : int)

So, just change the colour number. Or you could use the RGB module.
Let's take a look at a simple example:

code:

var font1 := Font.New ("Times New Roman:16")
for i : 0 .. maxcolour %usually, maxcolour will return 255
    Font.Draw ("Look, my colours are changing!", 10, 10, font1, i)
    delay (10)
end for
