[Code Playground] Feature proposition: Text Colors for non-web codes

Question

Guys, I would like to suggest to Sololearn a small, but attractive feature for the Code Playground for non-web languages -- to enable a multicolor text output.

I know that in Python it would require only installing one additional module, like colorama which is very light, to the virtual CP machine, so it doesn't seem to much of a fuss. But in order for other playgrounds to offer the same -- how is that done for other languages?

I'd like to know that before filing an official inquiry about it :)

Answer 1

That would be great! I support the idea.

Answer 2

@kurwius I see... So it is just an ouput file which is sent back to the app, right? And so can't contain additional informationapart from the text output itself?

Answer 3

See, it was a good idea to share this with the community. Thanks for the answer @kurwius!

Answer 4

Those batch processing scripts have been the target area in a few of the bugs I've sent in, including the ..\Playground\ 'bug' (all langs but 'web').

In this little code (text weather), I thought I could use a regex to strip much of the ANSI escapes but was a little like 'why am I doing this' when setting out to strip the rest.

Knowing Android terminals are fine, I kinda just wanted to have it work. It still perplexes me that I can't copy output to clipboard (one reason I wrote a pastebin exporter).

Answer 5

that would be very helpful in understanding other codes
