Drawing a variable

Once again, I come back with another question.

Lets say I wanted to draw some stats in the upper right corner of the window, so the user can keep track of their health and money etc.
How would I go about doing that if they're variables? I've tried just doing

code:

var font : int
font := Font.New ("serif:12")
assert font > 0
Font.Draw (health, 50, 30, font, red)
Font.Free (font)

but it won't accept the variable since it should be inside quotations.

You guys are the best, any help would be great Wink

Re: Drawing a variable

im assuming the variable, health, that you used is a int variable?
so inorder to draw font, the thing that you want to draw must be a string.
so make a ummm string variable for health
see example below

Turing:

var font : int
var health : int := 100
var health_string : string
health = health - 10 %got hit
health_string = intstr (health)
font := Font.New ("serif:12")
assert font > 0
Font.Draw (health_string, 150, 30, font, red)
Font.Free (font)

the key to this is intstr, and strint, and also, Font.Draw is for string only. Shocked
