You could make them in any paint program (i recommend Photoshop). Look at the help file for you text style, color, size.

SET TEXT SIZE
SET TEXT FONT


Loo at the command ink for color (corect me if i'm wrong)

Hope this helps.

right then, generally with most games you start programmining the games 'engine',the basic code before doing any graphical work just use different coloured squares for different parts of the game.
for all the text commands you could need go press f11 in the dark basic editor goto commands and then goto text, to change the colour of the text you need to use the 'ink' command
like this:


*just copy and paste the above code into your db editor
if you can't do something check the tutorials and help files first they help alot.

Start very small and work at it. have a play around with sprites and have a go at a simple shooter, after a couple of weeks try a pong or a snake game.

Here is a small example of making a sprite, moving it and collision.

Hope this helps,
