The following demo works well on its own program
https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/blob/master/modules/samples/src/test/java/org/lwjgl/demo/stb/EasyFont.java (https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/blob/master/modules/samples/src/test/java/org/lwjgl/demo/stb/EasyFont.java)
but I just can't get it draw in my game.
I copied from line 53 to line 63 (make it a draw() method) to my game loop , and put other things( like those in front of the while loop in original code) in a init() method,
public void init(){
ByteBuffer charBuffer = BufferUtils.createByteBuffer(text.length() * 270);
int quads = stb_easy_font_print(0, 0, getText(), null, charBuffer);
glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
glVertexPointer(2, GL_FLOAT, 16, charBuffer);
glClearColor(43f / 255f, 43f / 255f, 43f / 255f, 0f); // BG color
glColor3f(169f / 255f, 183f / 255f, 198f / 255f); // Text color
}
public void draw(){
float scaleFactor = 1.0f + getScale() * 0.25f;
glPushMatrix();
// Zoom
glScalef(scaleFactor, scaleFactor, 1f);
// Scroll
glTranslatef(4.0f, 4.0f - getLineOffset() * getFontHeight(), 0f);
glDrawArrays(GL_QUADS, 0, quads * 4);
glPopMatrix();
}
but I just can't see any text in my game, is it because I am using a shader (I've tried unbind it but didn't work) or a camera (which relates to a "projection" Matrix4f uniform in shader) or a VBO?
or I need to to do some glEnable or glDisable stuff?
my game loop looks like this
glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT |GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT);
shader.bind();
mainCamera.getPosition().lerp(new Vector3f(0.64f*main.getPos().x,0.86f*main.getPos().y,0).mul(-1,new Vector3f()), 0.07f);
onEntitiesDraw();
input.update();
EasyFont.draw(); //much the same as in the while loop of original code
glfwSwapBuffers(window);
glfwPollEvents();
Some suggestions
Use render doc to see what vertex were passed to the opengl driver.
Check the winding order
Check your project matrix maps to correct ndc coordinates.
