Hi, I usually "to good" to post questions on a Newbie board. But to day I ask two questions, one is a questionm, the other is a question asking if you can answer the first, actually that's pretty lame, and umm ya. So, ya umm can someone explain to me with their vast amount of knowlege why this is happening? ok so that was the question asking if you can answer this question:
well, umm here's some code demostrating the problem:


ya, so, why is "You Won!" printed twice?, in two different sizes?? cause this is as confusing as an oxymoron to me.

oh umm and I forgot to add that I amn't(am not LOL, sort of like 'was not') a Newbie, I've made 4 complete games (check my site) I'm just as clueless as one whenever I encounter a weird bug.

u need to slow down the text command usage


this is a hack but if u can work around not using the wait somehow

function changefont(n)
wait(1)
set text size n
endfunction

Or you could do a refresh here.

center text 320,100,"You Won!"
sync

I think that would cut the fps rate in half.

I think that sort of minor fps change if trapped correctly outside a main game loop wouldnt even be noticable by the user/player.


see for yourself with this code i just added a sync and the screen fps in the main loop for a rudimentary test of fps
