I tried searching for this topic but I couldn't find anything on it. If there's already a thread, then a link would be great.

Anyway, I seem to be having trouble combining 3D graphics with 2D commands. For example, if I try to write text to the screen when I have a 3D environment in front of me, I can't see the text that I have written. Similarly, I'm trying to draw 2D shapes on the screen and they don't show up.

Specifically, what I'm working on is a target shooting simulator. In the distance, you see the target rings and use the joystick to aim the rifle. When you press the trigger, I want to draw an image on the side of the screen that shows where your shot ended up, as well as display your score.

try using the
draw to camera
command.

it will send all 2d printing to the camera.
you will also need to print the text every loop or it will disappear when the program syncs.

unless your using sprites, which seem to hang around until you delete them

Ohhhh, thanks, that must have been the problem. I don't think I was drawing the text every loop. I'll be sure to try that.
