I believe the latest update has improved the debugger in several ways

Hi
(first of all excuse me for my english)
about debugger:
1) when the mouse pointer is on a variable I like to see its value in a tooltip.
2) when right double click with mouse on a variable , I like to open a input box for changing at runtime the value.
3) a windows where I can see all breakpoint in program
4) a skip to cursor function ,I make an example: I am on line 10 , if right mouse click on line 20 , all the instruction from line 11 to line 19 will skip and the execution point is at line 20

thank you

yes, that are some nice to haves.
1 or maybe "add variable to debugger"
2 or maybe edit in the debugger view textbox where the value is displayed.
4 in other editors we can move the pause cursor position up and down.

I think the view value with mouse over is the most interesting.

One of my biggest complaints about the debugger is that you can't resume the program after you've hit a breakpoint as far as I can tell. You can only step over lines. I want to be able to specify multiple break points and be able to resume program execution after each one.

The debugger is one of the weakest parts of AppGameKit in my opinion.

Really? That's not very clear as it still says "Pause" in the menu when you hit a break point, so I assumed it would not resume. Good to know.

Thanks! That makes my life easier.
