Hi

I have a problem with dbPrint. I want to display a score in my game which is the variable GLOBALCOUNTER - declared as a global integer after the includes. I do also have a char buffer as global.

#include "DarkGDK.h"
...
long int GLOBALCOUNTER = 0;
char buffer[100];
...

in the function darkGDK() there is a loop called LoopGDK().

in that loop i do the following:

while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
{
...
sprintf(buffer, "Your Score is:%i ", GLOBALCOUNTER);
dbPrint(buffer);
...
}

The variable buffer is being printet BUT right after it has been printet it disappears again if i put fx a dbWait that waits 1 sec the variable is shown that one sec and disappears right after.

i dont know what to do - cant find other peoples with same problem.

Hope someone can help

dbPrint is a 2D command and will get overwritten by anything 3D, such as the backdrop. Try using dbText, and make sure you call it every frame. If not, then you must dbSyncOff() with dbCLS() to wipe the display.

Can you post the whole code? (If it's not several hundred lines yet.) Maybe then we can find the problem.
