He, does anyone know how to place variables into a dbText output? For example:

printf("Score: %i", score);

How would you do that in Dark GDK? Thanks in advance!

Use sprintf to write the result into a buffer, then use dbText to display the buffer.

Yeah, something like this:

+ Code Snippet

char  screen_line[60];
int   my_score=0;
float my_float_score=0;


sprintf(screen_line, "score = %d", my_score);
dbPrint(screen_line);

sprintf(screen_line, "float score = %f" , my_float_score);
dbPrint(screen_line);

Ok I was messing around after ready all of these post because I wasn't to happy with the result's of this so i took and did the code:

+ Code Snippet

void Think()
	{
		

			dbDrawSpritesFirst (  );
			dbText( 220, 200, "Mob think's" );

	}

It seem's to work now win I call my sync next it has the text on top.
