So I’m a newbie, and suddenly my output has disappeared although the runtime does show up which, obviously, makes me think something built: I just can’t see what it is. Any thoughts?
No Build Output Only Runtime; I'm thinking it is lost in Space

The most common reason for this is executing code (usually but not always Python) that doesn’t generate any output, usually because you’re used to working in a REPL environment where you expect the interpreted lines of code to be printed automatically.
For example, this Python program will generate output:
print(2 + 2)
However, this Python program will not, because all it’s doing is calculating the value but nothing told Python to execute it:
2+2
The second most common reason for this (specifically related to Python) is using the built in Python build system and choosing Python - Check Syntax when prompted. That name sounds like it’s checking your code (which you probably want) but it is in fact the only thing it does, it doesn’t actually run it.
If that was the case then you would be able to tell by breaking the code, in which case you would actually see output telling you about the error, but nothing else.
If you suspect this is the case (and you’re using Python) while looking at your code use Tools > Build With and pick Python and not Python - Check Syntax.

And OdatNurd: the latter is definitely the case, and it was fixed. You, sir, are a Youtube star and thank you!
