Aligning of single text line

[spinnerbox]

I just found that Phaser uses Pixi to render text and also found that align property, which by default is 'left' does not apply to single line text. I need it to be centered.

 

I just want to display score text. I can position the field in middle of my text border but only when it has a value of '0'. 

When it has value of '12000' it looks like it is shifted towards right side of the border. 

 

What would you do in this case? What is the best way to pass this problem without changing 'x' coordinate of the text field?

 

I am making a Phaser 2.2.2 game.

I am not familiar with Phaser. However,  you can change anchor point to the middle of the text. That way it will always look centred.

It works, thank you.

 

Edit: In Phaser you would do:

spriteObject.anchor.set(0.5, 0.5);

Just so anyone else who lands here isn't confused, the code you posted @spinnerbox has nothing to do with Phaser. Phaser sprites inherit from PIXI.Sprite, which has a property `.anchor` which is a PIXI.Point.

A pixi user that doesn't use Phaser would update the anchor in the same manner as you just posted.
