    Graphics.h question

    I want to put a text with variables using a graphic mode but I cant beacause i can only put strings without variables. EX: with outtext I can put "hello", but I cant put ("hello %s",paninaro).

    Is there any function to do this?? I'm designing a game and want to put a scoreboard.

    If 'here' is pronounced as 'hear', why 'there' isnt pronounced as 'dear'??

    It looks like that function accepts strings, so just pass it a string:

    put("Hello ");
    put (variable);
    put("whatever else");

    two methods,

    1: easy

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    
    
    char buf[MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH];
    
    sprintf(buf,"hello %s",paninaro);
    outtext(buf);
    or

    2: easy

    i dont know what outtext() returns so change accordingly

    Code:
    #include <stdarg.h>
    #define MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH 256
    
    int out(char* s,...)
    {
        char buf[MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH];
        va_list list;
        va_start(list,s);
    
        vsnprintf(buf,MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH,s,list);
    
        va_end(list);
    
        return outtext(buf);
    }
    
    int main(void)
    {
      // code...
    
      out("woo %d",100);
      // ...code
    }
    output:
    ------------------------------

    woo 100
