Hello, I have a somewhat basic question about Dark GDK. I am taking Dark Basic courses, and converting the code to Dark GDK (not a difficult task), because I am unwilling to spend $60 on an inferior compiler.
I am taking a complete FPS tutorial. It went fine for a while, until I had to convert an integer to a string. The code, with my knowledge, I knew would not be accepted in Dark GDK. However, I could not figure out the equivalent in Dark GDK. I know you can do it in C++, but I have never been able to get C++ and Dark GDK to work well together. I have already asked the Dark GDK forum, but I have had no replies.
Here is the code in Dark Basic
IF OBJECT EXIST(2)=1
CENTER TEXT OBJECT SCREEN X(2),OBJECT SCREEN Y(2)-70,"Enemy Health: "+str$(EnemyHP#)
ENDIFHere is the complete code a little farther along in Dark Basic:

}I hope this can help you solve this problem. I really appreciate the help a lot!
Thanks again!
