Integer to String conversion

Post subject:  Integer to String conversion
The following is a code sample of a score board. The challenge is getting string variables "currentscore and topscore" to accept intergers such as "currentscore := currentscore + scoreadded" (scoreadded being an integer variable so type problems occur.)

code:
setscreen ("graphics:640;480")
var player : string := "Player 1"
var currentscore : string := "0000000"
var topscore : string := "0000000"
var font1 : int
font1 := Font.New ("Fixedsys:12")
Font.Draw (player, 50, 470, font1, black)
Font.Draw (currentscore, 53, 450, font1, black)
Font.Draw ("Top Score", 450, 470, font1, black)
Font.Draw (topscore, 458, 450, font1, black)


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

why don't u leave all your variables to be integers?

because Font.Draw will only accept strings. So at some point I need to turn the integer into a string.

try strint() and/or intstr()

code:

var topscore:int := 1000
var font1 : int
font1 := Font.New ("Fixedsys:12")

Font.Draw (intstr(topscore), 0, 0, font1, black)

intstr works!

*bows* all hail Dan!

Dan thank you so much, you've cleared a problem I've been struggling with for almost a month!
