I'm trying to have text displayed underneath my sprites. I would like to have it displayed briefly to indicate whether the player has made an error and also to show enemy choices.

As far as I can tell, there's no way to do this with the DarkGDK functions. To display something, it seems all or none. Is there a way to make a message only display for about a second and then go away?

I have this as a function somewhere. Will post back when I wake up if no one has replied.

This is an edit, I wrote some code but realised it wouldn't do what you were after.

You need to time how long text has been displayed for and stop showing it if it has been shown for long enough.

Try my timer class:

Timer.h:


Timer.cpp:


Example:


Your_Health = (My_Mood == HAPPY) ? 100 : NULL;
