The dbText function seems rather useless for Debug or HUD information since you can't print out variables within the string.

Has anyone found a good way of printing out variable values on the in-game screen?

I just use the fstream commands to put information in a file for viewing to see what went wrong where something simple like

std::ofstream debug;
debug.open("filename.txt");
debug>>varriable_check<<"\n"<<"place in code";
debug.close();

just make sure multithreading is on in project properties.

C++ promotes the concept of inserting an object into a stream. For standard output this stream is cout. Standard error is cerr and there's also clog though I haven't figured where that fits.

To send something to the stream you use the << operator.



This would send

This is a string literal This is a stored string 10000

to the standard out stream. The endl at the end is an end line token, which generates a carriage-return/linefeed sequence.

There are other tokens that can be inserted to affect the formatting of the lines but that gets a bit involved and is beyond the scope of this class.
