The Chargin' Engine link doesn't work. Apparently, the archives are down. Did anyone happen to download it by any chance? If so, can someone upload it somewhere?

[size=200][b]Using sprite fonts on GM[/b][/size] [u][b]1. Creating your font[/b][/u] [b]1.[/b] Create a sprite with the font on it, make sure that the font is on [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII]ASCII[/url] order. [b]2.[/b] Create a global variable or a constant to use the font. -[b]2.1.[/b] Using a global variable [syntax=gml]global._font = font_add_sprite(spr_font,ord('!'),true,0)[/syntax] Make sure to add "ord('!')" in [b]argument1[/b]. Otherwise the font will not work properly. -[b]2.2.[/b] Using a constant variable If you want to use a constant, go to "Resources > Define Constants" and a window will appear. Look the following image to see how to make it. [img]http://i.imgur.com/kIUC2.png[/img] [u][b]2. Using the font[/b][/u] If you want to use the sprite you added as a font. Follow the following steps.

Otherwise all the text will get color [b]BLACK[/b] automatically. Make sure you add this code on a [b]Draw[/b] event.

That's cool and all that great, but try to avoid global variables as much as you can. It's not neat and object-oriented for a game.

Using constants is also a way to do it, those variables doesn't need to be loaded.

[quote="DragezeeY"]Using constants is also a way to do it, those variables doesn't need to be loaded.[/quote] Those are still global variables, which isn't object-oriented. Anyways lets stop arguing, this is getting off-topic.

Will you accept old engines? [size=50]i doubt if you do, mines are always broken.[/size]

Yes, they are accepted as long they work.
