Parameters:

x = starting x coordinate to print text
y = starting 4 coordinate to print text
string$ = string/text to print
center x = optional; true = center horizontally
center y = optional; true = center vertically

Description:

Prints a string at the designated screen coordinates. You can center the text on the coordiates by setting center x/center y to TRUE. This draws the text in the current drawing color.

Note: Printing a space with text will NOT render a block - a space is an empty value. So printing " " will not make a box appear.
