I'm making an Ammo System for my game and i was wondering if I can print the amount of ammo left, with dbText. I can make it say Ammo:
and then a selected string after that. Lets say 100.

Using this to post how much ammo left.

Using this to draw the text to screen.

And I end up with the ammo in the top right.


But I want the char Ammo to change to an integer called AmmoAmount.
How can I change char Ammo to have a string value of what ever number AmmoAmount is, or is this even possible.

Thanks

You'll probably need to set aside a char buffer to receive the character string then run:

char* dbStr ( char* szString, int iValue );

to place the integer value as a string into that buffer.



Then just output szAmmoAmount to the display.

you can use just:
dbText ( x, y, dbStr(val) );

Which, according to a previous discussion, appears to leave you with a buffer created with new that doesn't get deleted or reused.
