So, I've already checked this topic, and it's the closest thing to an answer I have so far, but my code currently only seems to display one line of text at a time, causing a good deal of flashing from one line of text to the next. It only happens in the stuff I code, as the tutorials all seem to work just fine and stuff, but my own code always has this problem. An example of something I'm working on...



It's 2d text on a 3d world, and the problem happens even when the text ISN'T in front of the zdepth object. Do any of you guys know if this is something that's caused by my hardware, or if I can fix this code itself?

you need to turn the backdrop off, or use text 0,0,"EXAMPLE". I use DBPro, so I don't know if that will help, but give it a shot.

Nope, neither of those work it seems.

I believe it is caused by your Sync

You are SYNC'ing the program when you told it not to use sync. Sure you told it a rate but not to actually use the SYNC (draw off screen).

...oh, heheh. I do dumb stuff like that kinda often, just forgetting a few minor standards when starting up a new piece of code. Looks like it would have worked fine if implemented into the real program then, ah well. Good thing I asked it in the Newbie section.

Anyways, thanks so much! I was afraid I might get stuck on this for a while.
