If the text always remains the same, make a bitmap then write the text to it, get it as an image, and use that as a sprite over the old sprite. If it can change, you could try something like making image with all the letters of the alphabet + any other chars you might need in a paint program, then get each one of them as a separate image, then write a function that substitutes each letter for an image letter putting them there as sprites themselves.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

instead of killing sprites u could precalc all of the textual information before hand into image numbers then its a simple process of updating the sprite with the correct image number

I'm just going to paste the image onto a plain and orient it close to the screen. But then again I might do what you said indi, depends on how looks..

I think (on DBP) you can paste images with little trouble (in some ways easier than sprites too (except you can't rotate).
