Converting int to Char* giving ascii values C++

hi im trying to intialize a variable im calling it 

int Score;
char Buffer[1024];

im using SDL so to display them i had to convert Score to char

With this im incrementing the score

                case SDLK_m:
                    Score+=1;
                    break;

and im displaying this with this function 

void GetText()
{
    itoa (Score,Buffer,1024);

    drawString(screen,font2,0,0,"Score: ");
    drawString(screen,font2,50,0,Buffer);
}

so when im displaying it it goes like this 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,etc and i want it to normally count like 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,etc

so what am i doing wrong? any idea?

itoa is defined as follows: char * itoa ( int value, char * str, int base );

The last param is the base, not the buffer size, so in your case you would want to pass in 10 as follows:

itoa(Score, Buffer, 10);
