Hi all,
When using the text command in my 3D game, the text flashes, because im using cls command in order to update some of the things im printing (ie:fps). But when i want to make the UI for my game it flashes, so is there a way i could only make certain parts of the text cls, so my UI isnt flashing?

Video games…they can take you places unreachable, impossible, unfeasible. They put you in the book...they put you in the movie...they put you in a world, a world that before could only be imagined.

Dont use cls for refreshing in 3D games, use sync in your main loop.

actaully im not using the cls in the main loop, i had it remmed out with a section of code, now im confused, cause it keeps flashing like its erasing it, and also im not just talking about text im talking about shapes, boxes to be exact.

Use sync on. Then use a sync in your main loop. Cls after you sync.
