You should test your code for it's performance whenever you make something. Why? Because you'd find that though it works, it completely kills your FPS. Where?

Here:


Set Text To Normal and Set Text To Bold are unbelievably demanding when used within the main loop. Just using it once will kill 80 percent of your FPS. And for anything 2D, especially text, DBP sucks. I would suggest using Cloggy's D3D Plugin for your 2D needs from now on: D3DFunc V3.0

A dream is a fantasy, if you achieve that fantasy it was never a dream to begin with.
