Fastest way to change text?

[bapibopi]

I need text in my game to update every single frame.

text.setText() does the trick, although it slows down the game, especially if I want to apply it to multiple objects.

Is there a faster alternative that you can recommend?

Are you using bitmap fonts for this?

Nope just plain text

I think for this use case bitmap fonts should be much faster so I would suggest giving them a try. You can generate your bitmap font source from a ttf using this online tool:

Yep, bitmap fonts seem to work much better.

Thanks!
