Draw text

Explanation
This function allows you to draw text directly on the screen in the current color (unlike show_message which pops up a message box). The x and y positions needn't be specific, they can be relative to an object, also, the 'string' can be a variable.

Examples
draw_text(obj_player.x-10,obj_player.y-10,score); Or, in conjunction with and  to make text that follows you around in : draw_text(view_xview,view_yview,"Sonic Room")
