[Deeharok]

am i the only one who noticed the intro and code at 0:16?

[ScaredHelmet]

I can't get the font to load.

font = TTF_OpenFont( "data/georgia.ttf", size );

doesn't work for me. How do I know the correct path to the font?

[ScaredHelmet]

LOL nevermind, I didn't realise you had to manually download fonts.

I can't get variable to be displayed, but when I put int "Text" it works, heres the part of code. int scoreN = 1; SDL_Surface *Score = NULL; Score = TTF_RenderText_Solid( regfont, scoreN ,blackc); SDL_BlitSurface(Score,NULL,scr­een,&cords);

I want scoreN to increase when stick is picked, but I get error saying that invalid convertion from int to const char

anyone could help?

@YouKondziu An int and a const char are different types of data you must first convert scoreN into a string probably using the _itoa_s () function.

@Grenadiac111

I already got it long time ago :P thanks for help though :)

Lusikka, you have a nicer sounding voice.

You may want to pass that string as "const string& msg". This way is faster because the string won't be copied, just a reference will be passed (it's like a pointer). And const because you do not want to accidentally modify it in a drawing function.
