After running a game and then pressing ESC, the screen doesn't clear. I have to type CLS in order to clear what was previously running.

Hi J. Baker,

This is the standard behavior. When you hit ESC, it keeps everything on the screen and puts the cursor at the top. This can actually be handy for debugging. (You can see what is on the screen and all of the variables are still accessible after you hit ESC.)

Hello electricgryphon!

Ok but how would you see the debugging if the graphics are in the way or vise versa?

The text in the console is actually rendered on top and with a black background, so it will always be visible over top of whatever was onscreen from the game.

Thanks Scathe!

Ok, I understand. A couple of times the command prompt was at the mid-bottom and not the top though.

The command prompt actually defaults to the last location you called the PRINT command during runtime, which is pretty weird.
