viewing prints statements on OS X

[Praetor3k]

Hi there,
Sorry if this a newb question, but I've searched and can't find an answer to this. In OS X I can drag and drop my folder with main.lua on love executable and it runs, however I can't work out how to view the print statements in my code. Can anyone tell me how please?

many thanks

You have to run it from terminal.

When you don't run it via the terminal, you can view error messages and print messages (at least when you close LOVE) via Console.app (just search for it). The messages will come from either org.love2d.love or just "love".

That's just what I was looking for, thank you so much!
As much as I enjoy terminal, typing out directories is a bit of a pain

bash.rc and alias are your friends. Or even just including love in your path.
Then it is a matter of typing "love ."

No worries

Remember that the terminal has directory completion, just type something and press tab for it to complete the rest of the path (if there's only one matching filename). As TechnoCat said, you can use alias to help you as well. Edit a file located at ~/.bash_profile and add this line:

Code: Select all

alias love="/Applications/love.app/Contents/MacOS/love"

then you can type

Code: Select all

love .
