Draw text in OpenGL ES (Android)
I’m developing a videogame in Android. For it, I’m using OpenGL-ES.
I have a question about showing text using OpenGL-ES. Is there any method to show test? Because if not, the only way it comes to my mind is having a image with all the alphabet and show text letter by letter, which could be really tough.
Any clue?
No, there’s no way to show text in OpenGLES, other than with texture mapped quads as you suggested.
I don’t know the particulars of your application, but since you’re using android don’t forget that you can draw Android Views overtop of an OpenGL view, so depending on what kind of text you need it may make more sense to implement your UI with Android.
