Console ViewerThis is a featured page

director_consoleOne of the more basic debugging tools at the hands of the programmer using a traditional IDE is the console, combined with a way to print data to it. Sharendipity also has a Console Window that can receive text output from an application. The console can be accessed through the Director menu:

This will bring up the console window, shown here with output from the Teslaformer game:

console

The console can be written to with Trace statements inside Behaviors or Methods of a class in Sharendipity. The trace statement can also take just about any type. You can even concatenate values together using the "+" operator as shown here:

trace_statements

The console can be very useful for tracking certain state in an application, especially when you want to see when behaviors are firing or certain property values.
