I am starting to work on the User Interface, and I'm getting the error message:

Quote: "ui.agc:16: error: "drawtext" is not a recognised function or command"


The line in question is:


Which is correct according to the help documentation. I am using the trial version of AppGameKit if that helps.

Maybe that command was added after the trial version was compiled ..

DrawText, DrawSprite and DrawObject are primarily used with custom rendering systems (ie: not using Sync()), they don't do what you expect, DrawText for example will draw an existing text object onto the backbuffer at its current location, if you are using Sync() you have no need for these functions.

So, should I remove that command altogether, or should I do it a different way?

Remove it.
Use CreateText() and SetTextPosition() instead.
See the Text Help Files for more info
