How to use an integer into a drawString command

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

I have a counter that is counting the points the user gets when they kill the enemy, so i want to put that counter in the drawString, because i have a a custom font, i want to know how i would go about doing that. As well this is in the applet. Here is a section for my code

                enemyPoints = enemyPoints + 100;
                
                g.setColor (blue);
                g.fillRect (25, 40, 120, 20);
                g.setColor (Color.white);
                g.setFont (Mario);
                g.drawString (enemyPoints, 35, 58);

A quick look at Java's documentation yields this method of the Graphics class.

What you you mean type casting ZZK?

If so then you would use this:

enemyPoints.toString()

How would i implement that, where would i put that, and i use ready to program java, and it changes what you told me to int enemyPoints;toString (); the program runs but where i have the points it changes it to a small line.

Before you draw this string using font variable "Mario"
Did you init this Font Object correctly?


EDIT:
PS: drawstring is a method :) not a command. Dont confuse others :P

EDIT2:
Ditch JavaRTP it should be more like JavaRIP. lol... Its the most garbage program to possibly use for java, even if it feels ohh so familiar to turing.
Learn NetBeans now and you wont have too later if you ever decide to program for a living. It takes at most 30 min to set it up if you have never done so before.

As for the .toString() method, its part of java Lang so you shouldn't have to implement anything for which.
