Question

I am trying to use “printf” in my Visual C++ project however it is not working. Using Lazy Foo’s tutorial, I set up SDL in my project, but when I play it, printf doesnt do anything.

#include "SDL.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main( int argc, char* args[] ) {
    printf("Testing");
    return 0;
}

The output looks like this:

The program '[4664] SDL Testing.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

And that’s about it. What could be wrong?

Answer 1

SDL by default redirects stdout to a file, stdout.txt. You should find it in your program’s working directory.
