[SOLVED] How to show updating text box

[lxknvlk]

So i have a day parameter in my game. I want it to be shown at the top left corner of my game.

Here is my game screen:


I made the day counter appear like this:

$ui.frame(xpos=0, ypos=0)
$ui.text("Day [day]")

But how do i change its style? I havent found any documentation on this ui.frame. And if there is another way, how to do it?

Please help.

Well, it is documented that it shouldn't be used. You should create a screen using screen language and display the information that way.

Code: Select all

screen hud():
    frame:
        text "Day [day]"

label start:
    $ day = "Monday"
    show screen hud
    "This should stay on the screen."
    $ day = "Tuesday"
    "Yep, it does."
    return

It is not advised to use any variables that have not been defaulted.
It may be better to use it like this:

Code: Select all

screen hud():
    frame:
        text "Day [day]"

default day = 'Monday' # or any day of your choosing

label start:
    $ day = "Monday"

    show screen hud
    "This should stay on the screen."
    $ day = "Tuesday"
    "Yep, it does."
    return
