I feel very smart not being able to figure out why dbText() is doing this, but this is about my first day working with DarkGDK. No matter what the character input for dbText, it always prints a ' Z' to the left of it. For example, printing out an '@' symbol produces output "@ Z". Has anyone else had this problem? Here's the relevant code:

char PlayerChar = '@';
int PlayerX = 0;
int PlayerY = 0;
// our main loop
while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
{
dbText(PlayerX, PlayerY, &PlayerChar);

I believe that dbText is supposed to be used with character strings, not characters. Try

char PlayerChar [2] = "@" ;
int PlayerX = 0;
int PlayerY = 0;
// our main loop
while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
{
dbText(PlayerX, PlayerY, PlayerChar);
