blitz: text in bitmap

gazj82 · 06 October 2017, 21:54

Me again!

I am trying to print useful information in my game. i.e score

I have the following

Code:

bitmapoutput 0
print "high",hsc
print "score",sc

Is there anyway I can specify colour and where the text will be on screen. The C64 used things like "print tab(20)" to do this but I can't seem to find that functionality.

Colour fg(,bg) ;forground color pen, background color pen
