Hi,

I'm new to darkbasic and i'm wondering whether my install of DB is somewhat messed up or whether its natural behavior.

I was reading the manual and tried the first piece of code i could find.

A = 3 + 4
print A

It runs i think but the screen flashes and goes back. Is this natural since its just two lines of code and the program technically has been executed or am i perhaps missing something?

The reason for asking such a dumb question is because the manual asks to execute certain code but i can't see the output because the screen simply flashes by. That led me to believe that something may have been wrong in the install.

is this natural or have i made some possible mistake?

thanks

First off, next time put your code into the code snippet thing. Makes things easier.

Next, I think that A is too close to the print, the way you have it there.

Also, try using this code:



It works on my computer. If it doesn't work on yours, something is wrong...

Place a WAIT KEY statment or an empty loop:
DO
LOOP

at the end of your program, and things should work fine



Screw the rules...what can i blow up?

I think you're misunderstanding my message.

I'm not having an issue with the code.

its the execution of it.

Because its only two lines, it simply executes, ends and goes back to DB.

I believe that is its natural behavior.

thanks though.

why ream the guy for not using a snippet when he only listed two lines of code? Nothing better to do?

Anyway to answer the original question, yes, the two lines of code executed and then the program ended. Use WAIT KEY as mentioned above.

Good Luck

Becuz if you use WAIT KEY or anything like that your program won't and before you get to see what it has done because it takes more time for you to look than for the computer to render

Why live life if you die anyway.
