what is the type of your variable ex. int, real, string?
if its string:
code:

var font:int:=Font.New("times new roman:12")
var myWord:string:="Hello"
Font.Draw(myWord,0,0,font,black)

code:

%for ints
var font:int:=Font.New("times new roman:12")
var myInt:int:=1200
Font.Draw(intstr(myInt),0,0,font,black)

code:

%for real
var font:int:=Font.New("times new roman:12")
var myReal:real:=3.145
Font.Draw("Pi = "+realstr(myReal),0,0,font,black)

you'll notice in the real example, i have "Pi = "+realstr(myReal) you have to concatenate strings in font commands so as not to try to pass extra paramaters Very Happy check the Turing Walkthrough for the tutorial on font commands and their uses if u are unclear on anything

Alright, thanks.

What i'm trying to do is make a score for my game, so that'd be in int, and then turn it into a sprite so I can have it stay on the screen the whole time.
