I am trying to figure out how to print the cursor.
What is the cursor meant to look like?
To print the cursor, do I use Screen.drawPixel()?
Thanks
For Output.jack, the "cursor" is just the location where the next character will be displayed. It is not actually drawn on screen.
Output.moveCursor is documented as:
/** Moves the cursor to the j-th column of the i-th row,
* and erases the character that was there. */
I use printChar(32) in my Output.jack to do this erase. You could experiment with printing an underscore if you wanted to, but I suspect that it will leave lots of dribbles behind.
If you are talking about the cursor that is displayed during keyboard input, that is also a printed character. The supplied Keyboard.vm uses character 0 (black square). My Keyboard.jack uses underscore since I like that better.
