Printing to console

Hey Guys, first-time LOVE user here.

Since LOVE2D is built on Lua, can I use print() to send debugging info to the console window? I'm running Windows 7 32-bit.

Here is my code. When I run this, nothing is printed to the console.

Code: Select all

function love.load ()
   love.window.setTitle ("Title Goes Here...")
   canUseCanvas = love.graphics.isSupported ("canvas")
   print (canUseCanvas)
end

You need to have conf.lua. Inside it, have:

Code: Select all

function love.conf(t)
	t.console = true
end

That worked. Thanks.
