Title pages in games?

-----------------------------------

I'm a real newb in Turing and I feel like programming a little game so I want to start out with making a title page for it but I don't know how to go about doing that lol. 

So yeah, I know how to put images in Turing so what I'd like to do is make a title like: 

"Frogger (beta)
By James
Press ENTER to continue..."

Any help?

Add Text to the image in paint or something, then, draw it in turing, then wait for enter to be pressed, then continue.

You could use the Draw.Text function to make a title page, make it a procedure. You can add other effects and have a Key.InputDown function to detect when the player puts enter in.

To add background colour, colourback function is used, text colour if using put statements would be colour function. Otherwise with Draw.Text you can set it to your own.

When I make a title for a game I like to use MS Word's Word Art. Then just copy the image into paint and save as .bmp or .jpg. Then put it in your title page as a image. You can also you it as a title for main menu or title for pages like How to Play etc. Just remember to change background colour to match background of screen and use Pic.Free to clear image.
