Here's a quick function to print text as a background layer. BGPRINT Layer, X, Y, "Text" Not all characters are supported, of course.

could show the public key?

This thing has functions? Oh man. Do you really need to declare I as a VAR inside the function though? Seems to work without it for me.

I made exactly same function for one of my old games. I didn't use OPTION STRICT,so my version doesn't have VAR statement. Othar than that, it is almost same (mine uses S$ for the name of string parameter)

I forgot that, SMILE BASIC can access string like array of character. A$[I] is same as MID$(A$,I,1) Here is shorter version. BGPUT L,X+I,Y,ASC(A$[I])

@Soan Declaring I as a variable inside the function makes it a local variable. That way, if you're using I somewhere else in your program, you won't overwrite it when you call this function. @ChangeV I didn't know that, that's awesome!

@neto The function is in lines 4-9. You just have to copy it.

@Ed Makes sense, but what if you use VAR outside the function? Does it become a global variable or variable that can't be used inside a function? lol @ChangeV I've been drawing parallels to Python ever since I started playing around in SmileBASIC. It's good to know arrays can be used like that.

How do I load my maps layers all at the same time?
