VC 2005 Express Code: #include<Windows.h> #include<stdio.h> #include<io.h> #include<fcntl.h> #include<conio.h> void SCRprintf( const char* x) { va_list args; va_start( args, x ); vprintf( x, args ); va_end( args ); } Windows XP SP3 Intel Dual Core CPU: E5200 @ 2.5GHz 4.00GB DDR3 Ram ASUS P5G41T-M LX PCIE x16 GeForce GTS 450 1Gb SB Audigy 4 Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus

Code: Error in 'MAIN' line 9: Include file io.h not found < #include<io.h> > Error in 'MAIN' line 10: Include file fcntl.h not found < #include<fcntl.h> > Error in 'MAIN' line 11: Include file conio.h not found < #include<conio.h> > Some small recent games of mine: Griefer 4k http://damocles11.byethost9.com/griefer4k.html Kobold 4k http://damocles11.byethost9.com/kobold.html Cave 4k http://damocles11.byethost9.com/cave4k.html

Its better than having to write an on-screen logger. I mean its standard to use some system-output during development. (In Java or C++) simply to have to code pop up outputs at certain codepositions. I personally never use a debugger, as this method can find bugs even quicker, than stepping though code.

(with alternative functions to write variables + Strings mixed) Some small recent games of mine: Griefer 4k http://damocles11.byethost9.com/griefer4k.html Kobold 4k http://damocles11.byethost9.com/kobold.html Cave 4k http://damocles11.byethost9.com/cave4k.html

I quite disagree with that. With a debugger you don't have to code additional lines of output and furthermore you can add variables to be watched in debug mode. No need to rerun the program. But I'm speaking of good debuggers here, like the one for Visual Studio. I never made up with the one SED provides.

(with alternative functions to write variables + Strings mixed) You can easily accomplish this by using file_var_write. All that LCConsole.exe does is watch that .txt file, and when it is changed it displays the output. So you can use any GS function to modify the .txt file, and it will be displayed in the console.
