Hi,

I'm sure I got this working once, but now I'm stuck again I basically need the text command to be drawn last so I can see my debug info over my sprites. Any ideas? Here is an example... I've tried changing the order in the loop, adding cls etc.



Cheers.

You either move your sprites to the back of the z-buffer or create text sprites to overlay the game sprites. [Writing to images is painfully slow, but do-able.]

Hi, - how do I go about moving the sprites to the back of the z-buffer?

Text sprites, ah, that may do for now. Its mainly in an editor that this is the problem, so speed isn't essential there. In-game data there isn't much, just a score etc. that type of thing, I'll use a predefined sprite "font-set" for those.

Cheers.
