screen-draw_text	Screen.draw_text	screen	namespace-method	Screen.draw_text	Screen.draw_text(x, y, text, color, scale)	Draw a string with the built-in font at an integer scale.	4	Screen	draw_text

Draws a string using Ludic's built-in bitmap font, starting at the top-left pixel (x, y). The scale is an integer multiplier: 1 is the native font size, 2 is double-height and double-width, and so on — there are no fractional sizes. Use it for labels, menus, and messages such as titles or "GAME OVER"; for numbers that change every frame prefer Screen.draw_number, which needs no string conversion. The text is drawn in the given color over whatever is already on screen.

Parameters:

• x — the left edge of the first character, in pixels
• y — the top edge of the text, in pixels
• text — the string to draw
• color — the text color, e.g. a Color.* name or a 0xRRGGBB literal
• scale — integer size multiplier (1 = native size)
