Not able to render my font :(

Hi again :slight_smile:

So, currently I’m making the font system and trying to render some text on the screen and I’m almost done, except that I can’t get the right character to render :frowning: I tried Googling and even found some videos, but nothing works :frowning: The problem is that I can’t find the right math formula to use, to get the letter I want :frowning: Here’s my code:

Font class:

package com.mayogames.zombiecubes.gfx;

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

import com.mayogames.zombiecubes.Game;

public class Font {
	
	private SpriteSheet spriteSheet;
	
	public Font(SpriteSheet spriteSheet){
		this.spriteSheet = spriteSheet;
	}
	
	public static final int SIZE = 8 * Game.SCALE;
	
	private static String chars =""+
	"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ      "+
	"QRSTUVWXYZ      "+
	"0123456789.,:;'\"!?$%()-=+/"+
	"?$%()-=+/       ";
	
	public void render(Graphics g, String message, int x, int y){
		message = message.toUpperCase();
		
		for(int i = 0; i < message.length(); i++){
			int charIndex = chars.indexOf(message.charAt(i));
			
			if (charIndex < 0) continue;
			
			g.drawImage(spriteSheet.grabLetterImage(1, (charIndex / 1), 16, 16), x += 16, y, null);
		}
	}
	
	public static int getStringWidth(String message){
		return message.length() * SIZE;
	}
}

And here’s my SpriteSheet class (to load parts of the spritesheet):

package com.mayogames.zombiecubes.gfx;

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

public class SpriteSheet {
	
	private BufferedImage image;
	
	public SpriteSheet(BufferedImage image){
		this.image = image;
	}
	
	public BufferedImage grabImage(int col, int row, int width, int height){
		
		BufferedImage img = image.getSubimage((col * 32) - 32, (row * 32) - 32, width, height);
		return img;
		
	}
	
	public BufferedImage grabLetterImage(int col, int row, int width, int height){
		BufferedImage img = image.getSubimage((col * 16) - 16, + (row * 16) - 16, width, height);
		return img;
	}
}

Here’s the spritesheet itself:

I’m sorry if it feels like I’m asking you guys to do it, but I just can’t figure it out :frowning:
