I need a function that I can pass a string and and x and y coordinates
to that will blit said string to the screen. Can anyone point me in the
right direction? Something like Graphics.drawstring in Java…

H!

Lessen 7 for example.
It is written for C/C++ , but I think, you can do that in java too.
Greetings.
i’ve been working on this today, so here is my 5 cents :
you’ll need the SDL_ttf library
after that, its a matter of these lines :
TTF_Font *font = TTF_OpenFont(fontname, fontsize);
my_text_surface = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, "testing", m_fore_color);
here, fontname is a char * pointer to your fontname which is best
locally stored with your application (so make sure you use royalty
free fonts !!)On 13 Nov 2007, at 15:02, Michael Sullivan wrote:

Hello,
check http://forum.gp2xtr.com/index.php?topic=789.0 forum in turkish.
But you can use the function easily.–

seems to me the same few questions are always cropping up on this list… the
text on screen thing for example…
so i was thinking perhaps on the SDL doc wiki we should get a list of the most
asked questions and have a sort of rough guide to the basics of doing things
like text, your avaliable options, cheapest nastiest way, nicest way etc.
not that it would make much difference cos lass a**es like me will just come
here and as the it didnt work questions anyway.
But if people can come up with simple things that should be on a doc / faq sdl
set up / use wiki, i dont mind having a crack at creating the pages. (cough)
** ALSO ** - perhaps an addidon to the SDL -
SDL_DrawText( char text , int x , int y , SDL_Surface );
that uses a very basic 8x8 pixel alphabet, ( or pehaps 2 or 3 sizes and
an extra
option ) i’m sure this could be useful in some way. esp for on screen
debugging
and for these people that cant cope with not having a in display text
output…
i’m sure it’s also been discussed 
anyway, i’m off to kill santa now, he drank all my coca-cola, corperate whore
that he is.
well, the text-on-screen is already in the faq (just use the SDL_ttf
library) but some specialised sample code would be nice…
can anyone edit the wiki (like wikipedia), or is this admin-only ?On 13 Nov 2007, at 16:23, neil at cloudsprinter.com wrote:

Hey,
If you’re using C++, you can always try my NFont class at: http://pubpages.unh.edu/~jmb97
If you’re not into C++, it might still be worth it since Java is almost identical in syntax.
