Help me with window stuff
Is there a way to make the printed text (text printed on the screen with "printf") be in the window instead of the background? If so, how? I'm stuck using C because assembly seems to be too hard for me.

Sorry, I can't answer your question but when you want to develp a game its better to use set_bkg_tiles or set_win_tiles instead of printf. You can arrange letter and number tiles according to their ASCII code and then easily display a string on the background or window.

I usually just manually map c-string chracters to their VRAM tiles. What did you end up doing to make it work?
