Stephen Thomas commented on SQ-560:
-----------------------------------

Visual Debugger (aka Watch how the code works kids), yes, and ideally I would be able to script the playback (so I could get kids to watch how Etoys scripts work) in such a way that I could control the "playback rate" (ie: how fast it "steps" through individual script lines/rows.

I read the bubble help, sorry guess I need to make myself clearer, I was trying to find a way to toggle the set the "tick rate" through a scripting command (as opposed to manually changing the rate)  FYI, setting the tick rate is a lower priority for me, the "Visual Debugger" has much more value. Thanks.

> I have often seen students running into a problem with a script they wrote. By simply walking them through the script step by step they see the problem by themselves.
> So the proposed feature would have one or two modes:
> 1) Single Step - where on each click of the mouse (or some other queue) the Script Tile that is being executed is highlighted and the script pauses at that step until the next click/queue
> 2) Single Step through a Script - Where there is a "slow motion" execution of the script with scripting tiles being highlited as they execute
> 3) Single Step though "Go - The equivalent of Single Step through Script except all scripts that would run when you click "Go" from "All Scripts are walked through
