Hello World Program

Create a Python file and open it with your favorite text editor. Type in the code below:

from pylash.core import init, addChild
from pylash.display import TextField

def main():
    txt = TextField()
    txt.text = "Hello World"
    txt.size = 40
    txt.x = txt.y = 100
    addChild(txt)

init(30, "Hello World", 400, 300, main)
