Hi,

I'm new to Dark GDK development, and I am trying to render a main menu. I want to use text and an image (I guess a sprite would be the best option?). My question is; how do I render the text on top of the sprite?

Thanks,
Callum

I had the same issue once. The key is to use dbPasteSprite(..) and then do the text. You have to dbHideSprite(..) for each of the sprites you would like to have text over and in your loop, use the method I mentioned above. Do a global search using "text over sprite" and you will find plenty of examples.

The fastest code is the code never written.

and if you need to use multiple fonts and colors, default won't be the choice for you, either try Cloggy's D3D, or check this out
