Help making all text white.

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

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

[tdoc]Text.Color[/tdoc] 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?

[tdoc]Text.Colorback[/tdoc]
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 :P

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