/* sprintf reference:
 *
 * int sprintf(char* _Dest, const char* _Format, ...);
 *
 * Putting a % then a letter in the format
 * paramater means that 
 * you want the value of a variable in
 * that spot. The letter after the % has to
 * be one of the following, and the type of the 
 * variable has to match that letter.
 *
 * Valid Letters:
 * %d - decimal
 * %i - integer
 * %f - float
 * %s - string
 * %o - Signed octal
 * %u - Unsigned decimal integer
 * %x - Unsigned hexadecimal integer	
 * %X - Unsigned hexadecimal integer (capital letters)
 * %p - Pointer address
 * %n - Nothing printed. The argument must be a pointer to a signed int,
 *	  where the number of characters written so far is stored.
 * (Thanks for the ones I missed SFCBias!)
 * 
 *
 * Then you put all the value you want as
 * paramaters in the order that they apear
 * in the _Format param.
 *
 * eg:
 * #define BUFF_SIZE 256
 * char buffer[BUFF_SIZE];
 * sprintf(buffer, "FPS: %i", dbFPS());
 * dbText(0,0,buffer);
 *
 * For more in-depth information and
 * usage of the more advanced features of this
 * function, check out these websites:
