Okay...why doesn't this work?

[Enq Movain]

Okay...I would swear I saw this textout sub used this way, but I can't remember where...why doesn't this work?

Code:

'$include: 'allegro.bi'

dim username as string

username = "enqmovain"

allegro_init
set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 640, 480, 0, 0)
install_keyboard()

textout(screen, font, "Your username is " + str$(username), 320, 240, 10)

do
   if(*(@al_key+KEY_ESC) <> 0) then
      exit do
   end if
loop
allegro_exit()

Any help is appreciated.

Oh yeah, anyone know anything about documentation is coming along?

Thanks.

The Str$ function is not needed; it's used to convert numeric types to strings. Besides, in FB, the $ suffix is no longer needed.

Nice. Thanks for the help again.

Hope i'm not being too annoying with these stupid questions.
