Hello World

This is the source code of the traditional Hello World program.

// This is a comment, and is ignored by the compiler

// This is a proc `Login()` defined on a base mob. We'll learn more about those later.
/mob/Login()

    // Statements here are executed when a mob logs into the game

    // Print text to world
    world << "Hello World!"

world << "x" is the most basic way to output text to the default window, using the << operator.

To run this, simply open up a blank BYOND project and compile it.

When you log into the game, you'll see the text in the side chat bar!

Activity

Try adding a new line with a second world << "x" so that the output shows:

Hello World!
