I imagine my way is pretty nooby, but this is one way of doing it:

When I run that, lots of strange characters get printed or nothing after 'FPS:' appears. I think that is because dbScreenFPS returns an integer, and not chars, which dbPrint seems to have trouble converting between by itself; dbPrint probably assumes that dbScreenFPS is chars since the "FPS: " part at the start is.

Because you can't add an integer to a pointer and expect it to work.

I would personally do this:

Agreed - best way - reliable - simple.

Micheal - I made a char buffer that's 1024 bytes long - and I use it like a "Temp Global" from all over the place - because I use that sprintf like Benjamin did to fill it, then I immediately do something with the result - USUALLY just dbPrint it... so its throw away. This makes it so I don't need a ton of char[255] buffers in my program.

It's still not perfect - (fixed length) - but for what I use it for ... (Like you displaying FPS, or whatever) ... 1024 seems plenty
