Hello,

Is it possible to catch System.outs and/or exceptions printed or thrown from a decendent of LuxAgent?

Best regards,

On MacOSX you can open the Console.app to get a live read-out of the output. On other systems if you start Lux from a command line then you will get a live read out. And the log file is always there (of the last run of Lux).

I just created a JFrame with a TextArea and printed all my debug messages to that

I would love some implementation guidance with the solution offered by 'guest'. I.e., creation of a Java scrolling text widget that I can write to for debug/analysis purposes.

Here is what I do for debugging in Windows. Create an application icon that starts Lux with this command: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\java.exe -jar LuxCore.jar". Also set the start directory to "C:\Program Files\Lux".

When you start Lux this way, all stdout and stderr output will go to the text window in real time. I even use stdin input to pause the game at will.

In the sprefs function were the agent is passed the board create a Frame add a TextArea to it. keep a reference to the text area somewere. call setText or append, etc. Take a look at the TextArea class in the Java API doc.

Thanks Bertrand and guest. I was able to see output from the console. I'll look into the use of a text box a little later.
