NAME

       textprintf_ex - Formatted output of a string. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void textprintf_ex(BITMAP *bmp, const FONT *f, int x, int y, int color, int bg, const char *fmt, ...);

DESCRIPTION

       Formatted text output, using a printf() style format string. Due to an internal limitation, this function
       can't be used for extremely long texts.  If you happen to reach this limit, you can  work  around  it  by
       using uszprintf() and textout_ex(), which don't have any. Example:

          int player_score;
          ...
          textprintf_ex(screen, font, 10, 10, makecol(255, 100, 200),
                        -1, "Score: %d", player_score);
