I've been trying to figure out how to display errors. The example code is incomplete. I've been messing around with it for a few hours...no matter what I do the error displays whether it's set to 0 1 or 2
I have included the example code.

Using zero for SetErrorMode makes it ignore any errors.

According to the help page, if there is an error it will be reported in the 'appropriate debug console'.

This means you need to run the app while attached to the device you are running on. There is no debug console in Windows if you are using Tier 1 (which it looks like you are).

something like this?

global error$
error$="bla"
showerror=1
if showerror then displayerror()

function displayerror()

do
print(error$)
if getpointerpressed() then exit
sync()
loop

endfunction

You can also use the GetErrorOccurred() command to detect if an error has happened and then the GetLastError() to display the command.

Maybe something like this:

Ah, so you can't have it display something on screen if there's an error?

I don't remember which language I had used, but I usually had both...the debug console and printed something on screen just for debugging purposes.

So would using SetErrorMode just be for ide debugging?

SetErrorMode really only works when connected to Xcode or Eclipse. So, yes, only for IDE debugging.

I think you are better off making your own routines (something like the one I posted) that let you check for and display AppGameKit errors on whatever device is actually running.

In Mac, Windows and iOS, you could use the Message command to pop up a message. It will pause whatever is going on until cleared. In Android, a Message popup only appears for a little bit and then clears itself.
