I am using the Mac SDK and am trying to draw some text in my game. I create a new font using playdate.graphics.font.new() and verify that it is properly set. In my update function, I then set the font and draw the text. I can see that the text is being drawn because the area where it should be is hi…

Text is hidden/invisible

In order for text to coexist with all sprites you need to draw it into a sprite of its own. That could be the spirte background, or something else.

There are some other threads on this
