What is it you are trying to achieve? I am trying to to hcange the font of a variably output to the screen using Font.Draw("output",1,1,myfont,white") as a template sort of thing What is the problem you are having? that template works for output text directly to the screen, but i need it to print the value of a variale instead, how do i do this? Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I have tried using the "\total' to escape from normal behaviour and try to print total as a varaible value and not literally print up 'total', but it did not work...not sure how i can get around using quotation marks Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) i want to print up on the screen: YOUR CURRENT SCORE IS:(put score here) i have used an accumulator , here is an piece of my programing to better explain
for the next line i would like to print up the value of total beside 'your current score is:'... any help is really appreciated. i have only been programming for about two months and only on turing, so i apologize if this is a 'noob' question... Please specify what version of Turing you are using turing 4.1.1 |

This doesn't seem at all to be a problem with font size... alison @ Fri Oct 29, 2010 2:58 pm wrote: I have tried using the "\total' to escape from normal behaviour I don't think you understand what Escape characters do... Escape characters allow you to place characters that would normally break the string inside of a string. They do not allow you to place whatever you want in a string. What you told Turing to output is:
since \t tells the computer you want a tab character. Likewise, \n will give you a new line, \" will give you a quote, etc. What you want is: "Your current score is: " + intstr(total) which tells the computer that you want "Your current score is: " and then to add the variable total, as a string, to the end of that. |
