Hi,
Try using the EventRecorderMorph.
You can record some events.
Then you can explore or inspect it to look at the instance variable tape.
It  contains all the recorded events.

EventRecorderMorph uses HandMorphForReplay to play back the recorded events.
See EventRecorderMorph>>resumePlayIn:
Once the HandMorphForReplay is set it is processed in the
WorldState>>doOneCycleNowFor:

It is quite tricky to set up this event playback.


EventRecorderMorph new openInWorld

Best,
Karl
