Bitmap Font Displays in Center Always Without Coding it Manually (Fix Coordinate Problem onText)
- by David Dimalanta
Is there a way on how to stay the texts in center without manually coding it or something, especially when making an update? I'm making a display for the highest score. Let's say that the score is 9. However, if the score is 9,999,999, the text displays still only at the fixed X and Y coordinate. Is there really a way to stay the text in center especially when there is changes when a player beats the new world record?
Here's my code inside Sprite Batch:
font.setScale(1.5f);
font.draw(batch, "HIGHEST SCORE:", (900/10)*1 + 60, (1280/16)*10);
font.draw(batch, "" + 9999999 + "", (900/10)*4, (1280/16)*8);
batch.draw(grid_guide, 0, 0, 900, 1280); // --> For testing purpose only.
// Where 9999999 is a new record score for example.
Here's the image shown as example. I add it some red grid so that I could check if the display of score when updated will always display on center no matter how many digits takes place in. However, it is fixed, so I have to figure it out how to display it automatically on center regardless of the number of digits while updating for the new highscore. I have used the LibGDX preferences very well though to save and load records for the highscore.
