Hey all, Does anyone know how to draw text with BlitzBasic? I've at this website that I need to use the DrawText function: http://www.2dgamecreators.com/tutorials/gameprogramming/fonts/T1_fonts.html But when I put the DrawText function in my program it gives me this error: "Function 'drawtext' not found'. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Vinnie.

Yes there is. Use the Text command instead.
See http://www.blitzbasic.com/b3ddocs/command.php?name=Text&ref=2d_a-z for more information.
