Center aligning your text makes it harder to read

2. Just use a variable to hold the score.
score = 0
then when the user gets a question correct increase it
score = score + 10
or
inc score,10
to display it
print score
or
text x,y,str$(score)

3. It's possible to put the program on the internet so otherpeople can download it and run it on their pc. Just make a zip file with the exe in and upload it to some webspace.
It's not possible to have it so you can play it in a webpage like a flash game.

Thanks for the score help the_winch
One more question: can you put it on a cd and be able to play it without downloading. I suppose not, but oh well.

your last question i dont see why you cant because if you can use the cd like a hard drive . If you set each cd up like one with your program on it.... then did you want autoplay?

When print text, don't forget the INK command. Black text on a black background doesn't cut it.

DB/DBP can not build web applications. You can use it to make a client, but not a server side application. You can make a stand alone exe program and distribute it via the web or via CD.

Making an autorun is easy, open up Notepad and type in something like this:

[autorun]
open=my_db_program.exe
icon=some_icon.ico

and then save the file as autorun.inf
