When Debugging scripts becomes difficult, remember the first function most tutorials teach. 'Hello World', By showing a string or data like a varaible '#{var}' in a #{ code block } you can visually see what the code is doing by forcing it to tell you. How ever a STATIC ( ' ) string will not proccess any tags, things like \t \n #{}, and will display the string as IS.

A string ( " ) however will proccess built in tags like the ones listed above and a few others. Here is an exsample bellow on some simple print() debug function styles you can use to show real time values or even book marks when sections of code are reached.

Code:


print("Hello World")

variable  = 'A simple string'
@instence = 18463.3483
$global   = Array.new('Item1', '2', '3')

print("Variriable value = #{variable}.")
print("Instence value = #{@instence}.")
temp = $global.join(', ')
print("Global value = #{temp}. \nIt's a #{$global.type} class.")



Print will pop up a dialog window threw windows and pause the game prject. Doing the
above code will out put this dialog in the boxes that pop up each time 'print("string")' is called.

First Box:
     Variriable value = A simple string.

Second Box:
     Instence value = 18463.3483.

Third Box:
     Global value = Item1, 2, 3.
     It's a Array class.


When you learn many of the features print() has to offer, debugging becomes less troublesom.
