Title: Console hiding results
Post by: fistfullofnails on April 08, 2021, 10:46:31 pm

I’m running the newest version on Windows 10.  I’m doing Terry Ritchie’s game programming tutorial, and I notice when output such as a counter running past 25 lines is shown in the console, that the first part of the output gets hidden due to scrolling down.  I cannot seem to expand the console window itself.  And of course when i press any key, it closes the console.

I think if you are really using console you could scroll back up screen. But that is surprising to find in early part of tut. If you just have a default screen (25 lines) you can't scroll back. Could you show code you are testing?

Yeah the real console does scroll:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. $Console
2. _Console Off 'close original console
3. _Delay 2
4. _Console On 'place console above program window
5.  
6. _Dest _Console
7. For i = 1 To 50
8.     Print i
9. Next
10.  
11.  
12.
