Positioning Text with Sprites in Background
Hi,
Hopefully someone will reply with a nugget of wisdom.
I've built myself a nice sprite border around the screen and inside this border I want to type some text. However, when it tries to apply text inside the border, any Sprites behind and beneath the text is removed. Can anyone advice me on what methods I should be using?
Background with border :
Background with border and text :
Here's my code :
Code:
/* This array states that tile number 1 will be displayed */
unsigned char bgTiles[] = {1};
int drawMainBorder();
int showTitleScreen();
int drawTitle();
int showTitleScreen() {
drawTitle();
drawMainBorder();
}
int drawTitle() {
gotogxy(4, 12);
gprintf("TEST COPY HERE!");
}
int drawMainBorder() {
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
set_bkg_data(1, 2, bricks);
for(y = 0; y < 18; y++) {
set_bkg_tiles(0, y, 1, 1, bgTiles);
set_bkg_tiles(19, y, 1, 1, bgTiles);
}
for(x = 0; x < 20; x++) {
set_bkg_tiles(x, 0, 1, 1, bgTiles);
set_bkg_tiles(x, 17, 1, 1, bgTiles);
}
SHOW_BKG;
return 0;
}Alternatively if I call drawMainBorder() before drawTitle() I'm left with this :
Therefore, I'm assuming that I'm using the wrong print method (gprintf). Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
