ok so i wrote some functions that will display strings using my bitmap font i have loaded into memory and some coordinates passed to the function

the code works perfectly in my test program but when i use it in my game it seems to do nothing

heres how i call the function from my game

300.0 being the test x and y coords im using (so that i know for sure that x and y are on the screen)

heres the code for the function

function showfonts(string$,x#,y#)
s = 1
for i = 1 to len(string$)
image = asc(mid$(string$,i))-96
if asc(mid$(string$,i)) = 32 then image = 30
if image<0 then image = asc(mid$(string$,i))-9
if mid$(string$,i) = "+" then image = 27
if mid$(string$,i) = "-" then image = 28
print asc(mid$(string$,i))
paste image image+60000,x#+((i-1)*10),y#
next i
endfunction
