The INK command no longer works with a background color. Even the example code does not work.

DO
INK RGB(255,255,255),0
TEXT 100,100,"Testing 1"
LOOP

Works zippily.

DO
INK 0,RGB(255,255,255)
TEXT 100,200,"Testing 2"
LOOP

Doesn't work. No background color and kills the FPS.

Bug fix request:

Please fix this ASAP.

Feature request:

Please speed up TEXT commands in general, if possible.

The TEXT and PRINT commands do not write a background to the text they display by default - You need to enable it by using SET TEXT OPAQUE.

Thank you, I had forgotten about the TEXT OPAQUE command. That works, though you have to be careful where you put the command for it to work.

However, the SET TEXT OPAQUE command does kill the FPS of the text commands to the point where I would say to use it at all is pretty impractical.

Go ahead and try printing out several lines of text with it, compared to without, it is a huge difference for something so simple.

So I think this is still a bug.
