So here's what we need..
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content;
This allows us do draw and load content into the game..
At the top of your class, declare a spriteFont..
so add this line..
SpriteFont font;
spritefont is the datatype of font configs..
now let's add a spriteFont into the project..
[At your game content, Right Click > add> New item > Spritefont > name it font]
If you open the spriteFont file, you'll see some settings.
You can change the font to use , size, style etc at the spritefont file..
So now at your game.cs
Lets load the font with the spritefont file.
At your load content add this line
font = Content.Load<SpriteFont>("font");
and inside your spritebatch Begin and End, add this line..
spriteBatch.DrawString(font, "HELLO WORLD!", new Vector2(100, 100), Color.White);
so, spritebatch also allows us to draw string..
the format is (the font to use, the string, the position and the color of the text)
so we set the string to x=100,y=100
Run the GAME, and see
