Post subject:  Using variables as text in Font.Draw
Im making a "Kids Program" that helps teach kids how to add/multiply/etc...

Anyways.. Im trying to avoid using simple put statements and am using Font.Draw I want my code to generate random numbers, and then ask what the two numbers equal when added... The problem is, im trying to combine variables and text in the section of the Font.Draw command where you input your text..

Heres a simplified version of my code:

code:


var FontID1 : int := Font.New ("sanserif:20:bold")
var add1a := Rand.Int (0, 10)
var add1b := Rand.Int (0, 10)
Font.Draw (" What does ", add1a, "  plus  ", add1b, " equal?", 200, 200, FontID1, 7)



Do you guys see my problem?? Commas are used to divide arguments but im trying to use them to divide vars from my text.. How can I work around this??

Thanks

use intstr to convert the integers to strings, then concatenate.

code:
Font.Draw ("What does " + intstr (add1a) + " plus " + intstr (add1b) + " equal?", 200, 200, FontID1, 7)
