Text on screen

How do I show text on the screen in realtime 3d? e.g. lives, game over or text from talking to a other chartacter.

You can make some texture with the text and move it in front of the screen (with a ipo curve)!
Bye :slight_smile:

But if I want to make interactive text, like the score?

use an overlay sceen and use the bitmap text thingy, sorry i have to go, il explain later(if not annyone else explain :wink: )

Could somebody please explain wath he just said? I’m confused :-? .
