You can make pretty much any type of game in Dark Basic.

A turn based game would be entirely possible but I suggest you start with an arcade game, like Pong.

Turn based games are fairly easy to do in DB. What works for me is to design the game as a pen and paper game and then translate it to a computer program. The most difficult part is if you decide to add a computer opponent.

Some good learning programs to write before starting on a large project include tic-tac-toe, checkers, mastermind, etc.

The reason that we suggest starting with a smaller game first is that it gives you time to get familiar with the language and improve the way you code and design data structures. Learning how to use arrays and user defined types (UDTs) can really save your sanity on a larger project.
