Puts a dynamic text with a certain font on certain coordinates on the screen with a certain alignment.

Parameters

INT fontID

- The FontID of the font to be used for the text.

INT x

- The X coordinate of the text.

INT y

- The Y coordinate of the text.

INT alignment

- The type of alignment.

STRING text

- The text to be used.

Returns

INT : TextID

0	- Error. The text could not be obtained or was empty.
!0	- The TextID of the text.

Example

Program texts;
Const
    maxtexts = 10;
Private
    int textid[maxtexts-1];
    string str;
    float flt;
Begin

    // Set FPS
    set_fps(60,0);

    // Write some texts
    textid[0] = write(0,0,0,0,"FPS:");
    textid[1] = write_int(0,30,0,0,&fps);
    textid[2] = write_string(0,160,95,1,&str);
    textid[3] = write_float(0,160,105,0,&flt);

    // Update the texts until ESC is pressed
    Repeat
        // Notice the texts get updated as the values of str and flt changes.
        // The same goes for the value of fps.
        str = "This program is running for " + timer/100 + " seconds.";
        flt = (float)timer/100;
        frame;
    Until(key(_esc));

    // Delete the texts
    for(x=0; x<maxtexts; x++)
        if(textid[x]!=0)
            delete_text(textid[x]);
        end
    end

End

Used in example: set_fps(), write_int(), write_string(), write_float(), key(), delete_text(), array, fps, TextID

This will output the words LEFT or RIGHT according to the keys you press, or it will quit the program once ESCAPE is pressed.
