When I usually want text to my games, I make pictures of every font and so on...
But when I now at the first time try to use normal text in 3D, it doesn't show anything..
Why?

Probably because your either using PRINT, or the other graphics are overwriting the text.
You shouldn't be using text for text though - use sprites.

bunghole, are you using sync? because if you are'nt then putting sync in your program will help you a lot. if you are, switch you print statement to text or vice versa. and tell me if you have any other problems .

I'm in school now, but if I remember right, I have remembered to put the sync.
But I'll try that. I wanna see the normal text, so I can check the coordinates and stuff.

I doesn't work either way. When I do a sprite of a bitmap then the text disappears. Even if the sprite is hidden, the text won't show.

place these lines prior to your loop

set text font "arial"
set text size 14
ink rgb(255,255,255),1
score = 56



place this line at the end of your main loop just before your sync

text 10,10,"my score is :"+STR$(score)




and you should see text in the top left hand corner to get you started

i personally actually only managed to make PRINT work for me

TEXT didn't work for me

but you always *MUST* put the writing just before the SYNC

and make sure the DRAW TO FRONT statement is in place

Dammit! It still doesn't work!
I mean it shows the text in front of 3D's, but doesn't in front of sprites. I don't get it...
