Text won't show.

[BroiledVictory]

In my app, Musician the text won't show, I know it has to do with the background because the text will appear if there is no background can someone help?

        protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
        {
            GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.White);
            spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.AlphaBlend);
            if (Menu == true)
            {
                spriteBatch.DrawString(Arial, "Play to start, Right and Left to change background",
                    new Vector2(10, 10), Color.Blue, 0, Vector2.Zero, 1, SpriteEffects.None, 1);
            }

                if (bgchoice == 1)
                {
                    spriteBatch.Draw(bg1, mainFrame, Color.White);
                }

                if (bgchoice == 2)
                {  spriteBatch.Draw(bg2, mainFrame, Color.White);
                }
                if (bgchoice == 3)
                { 
                    spriteBatch.Draw(bg3, mainFrame, Color.White);       
                }

                if (bgchoice == 4)
                {               
                    spriteBatch.Draw(bg4, mainFrame, Color.White);              
                }

                if (bgchoice == 5)
                {
                    spriteBatch.Draw(bg5, mainFrame, Color.White);
                }

                if (bgchoice == 6)
                {
                    spriteBatch.Draw(bg6, mainFrame, Color.White);
                }
                spriteBatch.End();
            base.Draw(gameTime);
            }
        }
    }

It draws in the order you call it. Put draw string after the background stuff.

Basically, the string is being drawn, then the background on top of it.

You should have over 100 different bg images. That would be cool.

Version 0.3 is already like 3 mb... I don't think the memory will allow for that much... But I'll take the request for more.

If you really have to put in a switchable background feature, instead of using an abomination of if statements such as what you've got now, load only one background and store it in a class-level variable (aka field), then render it every time in your Draw function.

I personally like his method. ;D

In my Runaway game, I actually use a switch for it. I guess it's neater than all the if statements, but it gets the job done relatively the same, doesn't it?

Where does it say it was locked?

[BroiledVictory]

I for some reason I don't remember saying the It's already locked part.
