If you have your students add the line input() to the end of their program, it’ll keep the screen open for them.

Thanks for the prompt response. I have temporarily used input() for my students, curious if there’s any sort of fix on the way?

No, there is no permanent workaround as of right now. Replit made a change to their console/output windows, so now programs immediately stop and disappear after done running. Putting input() or something that keeps the program indefinitely running should work.

Hi @JaredMerrill !
You can use the Turtle function:

turtle.mainloop()

Put this line at the end of your program.
Hope this helps!

That does help. Thank you very much!
