@Flacko: I did draw the rectangle before drawing the text, but still...
@Dakatt: Now tried it with clearing and redrawing, now got a new problem(see below).
Instead of being drawn white first and when you press the down arrow turn red, the text "Difficulty level:" is directly drawn red from the start when you select puzzle mode. I also don't seem to be able to let my program set selectiontype to 2 to select the difficulty level. Any help?
Code:
#include <allegro.h>
enum game_modes
{
main_menu, game_menu, controls, game_sandbox, game_puzzle
};
// a lot of other variables
game_modes mode;
int quit = 0;
int finished = 0; // variable to check if the game was finished or the user just pressed [ESC]
int cursor = 1;
int newgame = 0;
int turnsleft; //amount of turns left in puzzle mode
int difficulty = 1; // difficulty level: 1=easy, 2=normal, 3=hard, 4=impossible
int selectiontype = 1; // 1=game mode selection, 2=difficulty selection
volatile long speed_counter = 0;
// a lot of other functions
void increment_speed_counter() // this is to maintain consistant update rate across differing PCs
{
speed_counter++; //increment counter
}
void close_button_handler() {
quit=1;
}

EDIT: solved everything... My mistake was I used = instead of == in my if-statements... VERY big and hard-to-find error

too bad they don't have easy text functions in SDL like in Allegro or I'd still use this method as well.
