Wotcha, folks.

What's faster when doing 2D?

Text 50,50,"Come on you Arsenal"

or

Locate 50,50:Print "Real footballers do it with their feet."

?

I would say the text command. quicker and easier to do as you only need one line of code: text 0,0,"Come on you Liverpool" ;o)

Only use Print for testing and debugging.

I believe the fastest way to do test is using bitmap fonts. It is a AnimImage containing all characters.
