To do this you must convert the integer to a string first like so:
#include <stdlib..h>  (at the start of your file)

and use the itoa (ie, integer to to ascii) function like so:

itoa( my_int, dummy_string, base_conversion);

where my_int is the int you want change, dummy_string is a character buffer
long enought to hold the converted integer and base_conversion is the base
number you want the integer to convert by (ie, base ten, base 2 etc, use
base ten for normal numbers).

then call the textout function with the dummy_string.

textout(screen, font, dummy_string, x, y, colour);
