Hehe, "stringly".

<EDIT> I pointed that out because the topic of discussion was on variables

I suggest you try some tutorials and check out some other codes, try to understand DB a little more, then try to make this game.

A variable can be whatever you want! Check out the different types in the help files. Let's play with a variable named, um... BOO. Here's boo as an integer: BOO (Notice that nothing has changed )here he is as a string: BOO$ .Now for BOO as a real number: BOO#

===Look at the help files they'll solve this for ya.

Okay, I'll try this quick and simple.

To use a variable, you can do money=10 or money#=10, the latter being a real number that can have decimals and negatives. You can add or subtract from this variable one of two ways. One way is to do money=money+1 or money=money-1. The second way is to do inc money,1 or dec money,1. For some reason, I have had some problems with inc and dec, so I prefer using the first way. In any case, you should definately look at the tutorials and help files with darkBASIC; they help a heck of a lot. Cheers.

Isn't this your own program?

It's the programmer's life:
Have a problem, solve the problem, and have a new problem to solve.

Oh and to increase a variable you can do one of 2 things:

Money=Money+1

or...

inc Money,1

Both increase the variable "Money" by 1. To decrease, try:

Money=Money-1

or...

dec Money,1

These both decrease the variable "Money" by 1.
