Allegro5: putting int's onto the screen

Question

for example:

int score = 20;

int main(){
    al_draw_text(foo, foo, foo, foo, foo, "SCORE");

    //I would then like to print the score to the screen,
    // is there anyway to do this?   


   al_rest(1000);

   return 0;

}

Is this possible, or how about converting the score to a const char or a string?

Answer 1

You can use al_draw_textf to print a string using a printf-style format string.

Something like this:

al_draw_textf(my_font, my_color, x_pos, y_pos, 0, "score = %d", score);
