printTextScreen(400,260,"Lives:", black);, hm dats intersting in c u do printf, in LUA you define da colour like dat, i fink u need 2 go learn ur c properly 1st

__________________

no in C if you want to use printf you define it first #define printf pspDebugScreenPrintf then you would do printf("blah blah"); and for color you define that too #define RGB(r, g, b) ((r)|((g)<<8 )|((b)<<16));
Color black = RGB(255, 255, 255);
Color green = RGB(77, 255, 0);
EDIT and i no how to code it is i just dont no everything

oh i fought u meant like

red = Color.new (255,0,0)

soz, it mite make more sense if ur 1st post showd wot u done so far

blitAlphaImageToScreen(0, 0, 480, 272, background4, 0, 0);

if(pad.Buttons & PSP_CTRL_UP) {
if(selComponent > 0) {

for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
sceDisplayWaitVblankStart();
}
} else if(pad.Buttons & PSP_CTRL_DOWN) {
if(selComponent < 3) {
selComponent++;
}
for(i=0; i<10; i++) {
sceDisplayWaitVblankStart();
