Hello World

by Louise Cline · in Torque Game Engine · 06/19/2006 (10:16 am) · 5 replies

I am new to programming. I am trying to get the Hello World to work but it keeps giving me the following message:

//-------------------------- 6/19/2006 -- 13:14:25 -----
HelloWorld.cs
Compiling CH2/HelloWorld.cs...
CH2/HelloWorld.cs Line: 12 - Syntax error.
>>> Advanced script error report. Line 23.
>>> Some error context, with ## on sides of error halt:
// ----------------------------------------------------

{

^Print(Hello World)##
##
}
>>> Error report complete.

Executing CH2/HelloWorld.cs.
CH2/HelloWorld.cs Line: 12 - Syntax error.
>>> Advanced script error report. Line 23.
>>> Some error context, with ## on sides of error halt:
// ----------------------------------------------------

{

^Print(Hello World)##
##
}
>>> Error report complete.

CH2/run.cs (30): Unable to find function main

It then puts a HelloWorld.cs.bak file, not a cs.dso file.

Can anyone offer any insight?

Try changing "print(Hello World)" to "print("Hello World");".

This is my Hello World cs file if it helps.

// ========================================================================
// HelloWorld.cs
//
// This module is a program that prints a simple greeting on the screen.
// ========================================================================

function main()
// ----------------------------------------------------
// Entry point for the program.
// ----------------------------------------------------
{
"Print("Hello World");"
}

Try this:

function main()
// ----------------------------------------------------
// Entry point for the program.
// ----------------------------------------------------
{
echo("Hello World");
}

On console, type:

main();

You should remove the "" from around the print() function too.

Or follow Gustavo's advice. :)

I uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I then Copied and pasted the HelloWorld.cs off of the cd. This seemed to work.
Thanks for the help,
