What's the intended way to draw dynamic text?

[MyNameIsTrez]

I want to draw an FPS counter in the corner of the program. I could call mlx_put_string(), delete it, and repeat this cycle every frame, but I'd rather not go with this approach. mlx_put_string() calls mlx_draw_char(), but since it is static I am not able to call it from my project. It might be that calling mlx_draw_char() on the same image wouldn't even overwrite the previous characters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The first approach is the naive way of doing it.

The intented way here is for you to write your own character drawing implementation.
You would use mlx_put_string() to init the string image and then your own character drawing function update the string if necessary.

A fancy implementation would also approriately resize the string image.
