Answer 1

Here are the steps I would do to deal with your problem:
1. Create a C# script and attach it to your tmpro Game Object
2.Open your script
3.Make sure you use “TMPro” name space
4.Create a global var to store the text mesh pro component
5. In the start method use GetComponent<TextMeshProUGUI> to attach the component to the variable you created in the last step.
6. On your update method make sure to set the text by writing - “tmpro var name”.text = player input.toString()(if it is a number)
7. After changing the text to fit the player input make an if else statement to check how big the number is and change the color accordingly with - “tmpro var name”.color = Color.(whatever color you want)

If this wasen’t clear enough I can try to explain again in more detail

Answer 2

Tried to make it as clear as possible.
I don’t know how you get your user input so you will have to connect that to this script on your program by yourself.
(The code won’t run here becuase this does not support unity syntax obviously)
