A DEBUG Mode would be really cool

Some sort of Debugging mode so you can see it step through your code line by line, while it runs. I think something like that would be awesome thats all I really know I want so far

Hello, as a member of the Alice comunity I would like to ask you not to post two threads in difrent sections with the exact same content.
P.S. This has been posted on both your duplicate threads.

Sorry I was trying to move my original post to the correct section. I was not aware I could not delete the other post kinda new to this forum thing

I agree, a debugging option would be very useful (especially when you try to find that one line of code that is messing everything up). I haven't had any experience debugging with any other languages, but I know how it works and it would be a great improvement for Alice. The only thing would be that most people would not know how to use the debugging because they are newcomers, and it would be stuck on the first line of code for them and they wouldn't know what to do, so it would have to be a semi-hidden function, maybe somewhere in the options tab where only the people who know how to use it correctly would access it, but not somewhere in plain site like where the Play button is, because it would be used by the people who do not know its importance.

I'll work on a quick debugger for Alice.

it'll be in object form, so you can just import it and stop worrying. It'll involve dropping a debug method wherever you want a breakpoint, and cool stuff like that.

It's to bad that you can't just comment out a line to test if it is the problem.
