Okay, here's my problem. I am trying to print both a variable and text at a specific coordinate. The problem is that I cannot print both in the way that you can with the traditional BASIC language. Is there a way to do this in DB?

Thanks

I am assuming you are trying to print an integer variable along with text using the text command. Here is how to do that.

ScoreText$ = "Score: " + str$(MyScore)
TEXT X,Y,ScoreText$

of course you will have to initialize the X and Y variable with the specific location to print or else replace them with the constant value. The str$() function turns an integer value into text so if your score is 1230, it is converted to the text representation of "1230". You could even accomplish this task with just a single line such as:

TEXT X,Y,"Score: " + str$(MyScore)

Its up to you to decide, but go with what feels more intuitive.
