Symptoms:

  • platform: Windows / Mac?
  • printh from a program yields nothing in the program output window

How to reproduce:

  • copy following code in main.lua
printh("bob")

precision: confirmed to work on Linux, text is directed to the console that launched picotron



AFAIK printh() isn't implemented - but would be a useful feature. See also here.


fixed with 0.1c


I'm running 0.1.0e on MacOS and still can't get any output from printh(). Anyone else succeed at this on MacOS?


tbh I’m on a Picotron emulated on Chromebook terminal (with box64 as my hardware is arm-based), and “printh” doesn’t work at all; “print” is the better syntax for now.


you need to run picotron from the OS console/shell.
printh doesn’t display within picotron.


Here's the batch file I have on my Windows desktop to launch picotron with the command window for debugging (printh will show in the command window which I generally have on a second screen):

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Picotron
picotron.exe
pause
