Font.Drawing Scores

-----------------------------------

I am wondering if there is a way to Font.Draw or Draw.Text a score because right now I have my game uses locate and using put to display score just in red. This is terrible because locate or Text.Locate goes by amount of rows and colums which changes the position when you change computers. Any Ideas and I look for this thread but if this has been answered I am sorry Just post the other Topic.

Rember to convert the score variable to a string first.

If you are using an integer, you can use intstr. If you are using a real number, you can use realstr. Their use is pretty straight-forward.

Wait just as I was posting this I was thinking if I can only Font.Draw strings then use intstr but then i thought well if that doesn't work then someone will help me. But I figured it out and is working perfectly man I feel stupid lol. :withstupid:

%MY solution
%instead of
locate (17, 68)
            put score
%i did 
score2 := intstr (score)
Font.Draw ("Points: ", maxx div 2 + 40, maxy - 340, font4, brightred)
                Font.Draw (score2, maxx div 2 + 170, maxy - 340, font4, brightred)

 Font.Draw ("Points: " + intstr(score), maxx div 2 + 40, maxy - 340, font4, brightred)
