Hey, just started a project, wanted to see if i could make a game similar to worms. however im stuck early on as i have a bitmap as my background, and i want to print some text onto the screen but it seems to be behind the bitmap and so dont show up at all. is there a way around this to bring it forward?

Cheers.

You have to use the command draw to front at the top of your program, and you also have to make sure that where you draw your bitmap comes before where you write the text in your main loop.
