I am trying to use Allegro to write a simple typing tutor.
Initially, the screen is white with black text on it that has to be
read and typed. To show at what speed a line should be typed, a
coloured bar moves along the text line making a background for the
text, changing the original white background to, for example,
green. I would like to do this without rewriting the text, but
everything I have tried simply hides the text under my colour bar.
What's the method? How should I be doing it?
Thanks,
Mike.
