Debug using printf
Author
Is it possible to open a dos prompt window to see output from functions like printf using portalib, and if so how might you do that?
You can just use AllocConsole() to create a new console window, then to be able to use printf() et al, call freopen( "CONOUT$", "wt", stdout );

Have a look on flipcode''s tip of the day - they had a recent one (or was it code of the day?)
I''d recommend using the Win32 Console commands if you are Win32 only, because you can do colours and other good stuff.
Cross-platform it is up to you - I''m going to try for a good one across all in its own window. I''ll have to learn a bit of X though for Linux
The on screen one is always good and easy. glColor4f( 1, 1, 1, 0.7f) and write away
