Fastest Bitmap Font character positioning

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Fastest Bitmap Font character positioning

Hey, i do it by converting the integer into a string, then cycling through each digit of the string. Tehn converting the digit into a number and using it as frame number for my bitmap font image. eg 222.

Set up a loop, 1 to stringlength of integer

get loop digit

convert to integer

use integer as framenumber, and drawimage to screen. Again use the loop variable to position it.

Here's some stuff i did for it. Basic function. pass across the X,Y and the integer you want drawn.
