You'll have to make your own text system with arrays to hold the data etc.

if you have any 3d objects, or sprites on screen, then the screen clears every frame, and text needs re-drawing to stay on the screen.

I'd say that it'd be easier to 'erase' the text if you knew what it's contents were rather than filling the entire area with dots, just set your ink to your background and write the text again in the exact same place.

for y = 200 to 400
dot x, y, rgb(0,0,0)
next y
next x"


Isn't this just a box?

ink rgb(0, 0, 0), 0
box 500, 200, 700, 400

Cheers!

I'm guessing you aren't using SYNC ON. With Sync off, it will stay there until you issue a CLS command.

I use the method of HowDo!It`s very good!Try to write and then clear the text with backspace.

Where there is a will, there is a way.
I often edit my posts, that`s who i am
