score system and bitmap fonts

| I have an anim image that has th numbers 0 to 9. I want to use this for my scoring system. If somebody scores say 120, how can i convert this score so that it can print the three individual numbers, and display the appropriate image. Basically the 1 anim image goes from 1 to 9. If someone scores 120, I want it to print the relevent frame from the anim image. This would save me having a font image that is all seperate numbers, ie 1, 123, 344 etc. |

You could convert your value variable to a string and parse this, or use this math version:num=234587 nn=Floor(Log10(Abs(num+(num=0))))+1 For n=nn To 1 Step -1 frame=((Abs(num) Mod 10^n)-(Abs(num) Mod 10^(n-1)))/(10^(n-1)) Text x,y,frame x=x+20 Next |

| Also, the nSprite lib has built in BMP fonts that work very well for this, even a function to built the bmp from a string, and updating the string etc.. |
