Oh yea, one final note, I am in a polishing phase and would like to get rid of the default text output for scoring and lives etc.. I would like to instead use BMP fonts, any ideas / libs to make this easier, btw: all the bmp fonts I have are in gif, or jpg files, with all the letters and numbers spaced out, I have tried using other programs to break the letters out and make an ini file with offsets etc.. for each letter, but I feel I will have to write an inhouse tool which loads up the gif or jpg or png file, and allows you using the mouse to select the characters, then click and have it ask you what letter this represents, you type the letter, and have it store this info in an ini file for use later so all i have to do is read in the ini file, load the png file or whatever and using the offsets create several bmp's in a type array including the letter that, that bmp represents.
I hope, that wasn't too messed up to be understood. ehehhe
