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

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


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


%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 :D 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.
