  file-print "Hello World" ;; File is in writing mode

end

and pressed it once. The file is created but it's empty: enter image description here

As in other languages, what happens when you write to a file (here, issue a file-print command) depends on your operating system. If you want to ensure that what you are writing shows up immediately on disk, you need to flush or close the file. Details are in the documentation: https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/dictionary.html#file-flush

In NetLogo, after writing output to a file you also have to close the file in the end:

either via file-close - closes the previously openend file

or via file-close-all- closes all previously opened files
