The const char pointer is the format string, the values are added as extra arguments after that. Look at the examples here: |

It works just like std cout it will output a std string which you can do .c_str() to get a const char* you can << whaterver you want. Like std::stringstream ss; ss << "I ate" << 22 << "Hot Dogs"; al_draw_text(ss.str().c_str());

Drawing an int would look like this: al_draw_textf(my_font, my_color, x_pos, y_pos, 0, "Here it is: %d", my_value); Or replace %d with %f to draw a float or double, etc. |
