I have the following code, and I want it to display the background then have it display some text on top, but it does not display the text just the background. Thank you for any assistance.

+ Code Snippet

// the main entry point for the application is this function
void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	dbSyncOn();
	dbSyncRate(60);

        dbLoadImage("BackGround.bmp", 1);
        dbSprite(1,0,0,1);

        dbInk(dbRGB(175, 175, 175), 0);
	dbSetTextFont("C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\Arial.ttf");

	dbDisableEscapeKey();

	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{
		if ( dbEscapeKey ( ) )
			break;
                dbText(50,50, "Testing text...");
		// here we make a call to update the contents of the screen
		dbSync ( );
	}

	// and now everything is ready to return back to Windows
	return;
}

and as you may guess it doesnt display the text. thanks for any help.

Try using dbDrawSpritesFirst() - the best place for it is probably just after setting the sync rate.

Utility plugins collection and

Ah thank you.
Also I was wondering how do I make sprite layers?

I know how to do it with SDL, and OpenGL, but dark GDK i just started with yesterday.
