I guess you are using sprites...set transparency on and increase / decrease it in a loop.

How are you putting your text onto the screen?

If you want good control, which you do for fading, you should put the text onto a bitmap, then create an image from the bitmap and texture a sprite with it. Then you have an object that can be moved, resized, and manipulated in many ways. Most importantly, you can use transparency to fade in and out.

If you don't use a sprite, you will have to write the text to the screen every cycle.

There is one downside to this...to create a bitmap is slow, so it would need to be pre-determined text, or your game must not rely on fast updates at this point.

Some commands to look up...

CREATE BITMAP
SET CURRENT BITMAP
TEXT
CENTER TEXT
CREATE IMAGE
CREATE SPRITE

U could use this gamma code to fade.

Or if u want it to fade to black, make those 0's turn into 500. Either way, u get the same effect.
