public:
std::wstring Text;
DirectX::XMFLOAT2 Position;
DirectX::XMFLOAT4 Color;
TextBlock() : Text(L""), Position(0, 0),
Color(DirectX::Colors::White) {};
};
Now we need to add a SpriteFont , and a vector of TextBlocks to the Render-
er . We will load the SpriteFont just like in Chapter 2 , Drawing 2D Sprites , but
remember that we need the path, so we need to add a new parameter to Initialize,
and then set that to the path of our .font file. We'll also create a new helper method
in Renderer named CreateText that creates a new TextBlock and adds it to the
TextBlock vector.
Now add the following code to the Draw method, after you draw the sprites (but be-
fore you call _sb->End() :
for (auto text : _text)
{
auto colVec =
DirectX::XMLoadFloat4(&(text->Color));
_font->DrawString(_sb.get(),
text->Text.data(), text->Position, colVec);
}
Once we have that we can add some code to the Draw method before we end the
SpriteBatch to draw each item in the TextBlock vector using the stored data.
Now let's return to the Game class in Game.cpp.
_scoreText =
Renderer::GetInstance()->CreateText();
_scoreText->Position.x =
m_renderTargetSize.Width - 500;
