Finally got hold of a VM of windows to test this with (humph.. :/) Anyway.. I was not expecting monkey to have a debugger due to the translated & separated runtime but what is the best way to stop and read? (eg in-code stoppoint/messagebox/alerty type things) Last edited 2011

If you're working in html5, use google chrome's javascript debugger. It's very good.

true that is one way. Although i was thinking something similar to debuglog() or alert()

It is called Print

RuntimeError() is what's desperately needed!

BlitzSupport (Posted 2011) [#6]

Print is handy, but there's also Error (like BlitzMax RuntimeError), which will stop the program in its tracks with a lovely dialog box. Also been meaning to port/implement this sort of thing, which should work rather well.

Yes that would be good, especially if you could continue execution. @mike print is not really what I want.

tried Error and it does not show as a known command?
