How to generate text on the fly?
BlitzMax Forums/MiniB3D Module/How to generate text on the fly?
| ||
| The functions posted about the blitzbasic forum seem to work only if you generate the text and keep it in memory for use till the program finishes. What I wanted to know is if there is a way for the system to generate text on the fly so all I have to call is a function like CreateText( "Text" ) and then I can use it and get rid of it when I want without having to prerender everything at startup? |

| To make things clearer what I wanted to know if there was a way to generate a texture containing text so I could apply it to a sprite or something, the function posted on here works if you pregenerate the text which is a problem when you dont know what your going to generate. Alternatively could someone point me to a way to access textures in Minib3d. Thanks in advance :) |
