In this tutorial, we're going to create a hello world program in Kookaburra.
4 July 2021 - Kookaburra 0.6.0

If you have never coded before, it can be challenging. That's why we've created this simple tutorial. Let's start by creating a hello world program. This program will contain user-input and more!

Windows Popup

  • Note, Windows asks: 'If you change the file extension it may become unusable'.
  • Proceed to click on yes, nothing will happen if you click no.

  • Start by creating a .kookaburra file.
    • Create or open a new folder, we can call it 'Hello World'. Then create a new file by left-clicking and selecting New --> Text document. Rename the text document to HelloWorld.kookaburra.
  • We can start off by printing 'hello' to the screen. To do that, open the .kookaburra in Notepad or any onther text/code edeting program.
    • Start off by copy/pasting this code: 
      print "hello"
app.read()
      print, prints the text to the screen. And app.read() freezes the program until the user presses enter.
