Hi,

I'm having problems working in fullscreen mode in conjunction with the debugprint command. When I hit 'escape' after running the following code to check out the debug window the screen doesn't close to send me back to workbench. If I do a ctl-c to quit after trying 'escape' the screen does close to take me back to workbench but the debug output window is filled with strange characters. Am I using some incompatible options or something? Thanks for the help.

Code: Select all

@display {Color=#BLACK, width=1024, height=768, mode="FULLSCREEN", Borderless=true, Fixed=true}

debugprint("test")

escapequit=true
repeat
    waitevent
forever

Here's the mistake in your code. You're just setting a variable called 'escapequit' to TRUE, but you must call the function in order to enable esc quit. Use

EscapeQuit(True)

instead.

Oops, thanks for the catch!
