Hi All,

Im trying to draw a symbol with a drop shadow by using
the ink and text command. Im getting some strange results.

I stripped this code (and simplified it) from a 2D game im trying
to make.

Any hints welcome

PS:
I may have more problems with ink then this one, but i think this may
be the root problem. IE sometimes it seems as if the ink command doesnt set the right color...

uh...what do you mean wheres A...you didnt define what was to be printed i think you told it to print the ASCII of 65 + the number of the FOR NEXT command...Does it show you B? cause if 65 of ASCII is A then it will star by adding 1 to it and you get B to start off with...i just dont get what this is...

I changed it slightly by removing the sync on and it worked fine, you could also have put the sync in a do loop to make the output visible.

The code is meant to print the characters "A" to "F" in white on a black background.
"B" to "F" do show up but "A" doesn't ...

hmm,
I got it working by putting all in a loop with sync at the end,
still think it's weird that it fails on the 1st call...

The sync command sometimes doesn't work the first time it is used.
use
sync on : sync
at the top of the code.
