Just wondering how everyone here deals with inputting text to the screen when your using graphics. I was trying to use gstream but it didn't seem to work very well.. Whenever I tried normal output the characters would just flash as if they weren't being buffered properly, then when I tried input, it would just be a black screen until I mashed a bunch of keys then my graphics would show. The characters always went over my mouse too no matter where I put the functions. Before gstream, I was looking at this: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article2130.asp It seemed to work pretty good, but I was just curious to see other ideas.
