# 12. Misc.

## Misc Functions

### 12.1 TARBSengine.contributors()

Outputs the people who helped work on the project and their roles. Information about testers and becoming a tester is also outputted. (To become a tester, please email me @ <stautonico@gmail.com> or you can contact me via discord: Stevie1da#0001)

### 12.2 TARBSengine.getinput

#### getinput(prompt)

`getinput` is used to make logging and debugging much simpler. The only required argument is `prompt`. Prompt does the same as entering a parameter in the `input()` function. The only difference is that the `getinput` function automatically returns debug output and logs the input.

#### Usage example:

```python
user = getinput("Which direction do you want to go?: ")
# User input: West
# DEBUG:root: 11:27:32: User input: West
```

### 12.3 enable\_default\_output

The default output is the text that is displayed after an action is preformed. This default output is used as a template or a filler so you don't have to manually program outputs for every function. You are not forced to use the default output, it is disabled by default.

#### Usage example:

```python
TARBSengine.use_default_output = True
super_shield= TARBSBeta.Shield("Super Shield", 10)
player.add_item(super_shield, 1)
player.equip_shield(super_shield)
# Equipped shield: Super Shield
```
