Debuggin

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi,

I am starting to use Corona in anger now and it certainly makes doing the physics stuff easy! I have just done a game in cocos2d + box2d.

Anyway I have a strange little problem with my app, if I run it in the debugger the screen goes black so I can simply type continue in the debugger window off it goes and if I reload it then it works fine. Problem is doing a build for the sim or the device the app never starts. I have never added any breakpoints so I can only presume its erroring somewhere.

So the question is how do you send messages to the terminal window and does anyone have any debugging tips? The rapid reload is great but not being able to step through the code like in Xcode feels abit alien!
Thanks

Gary,

Have you seen this: http://developer.anscamobile.com/demo/ToolsGuide.pdf

It’s not very flash but it can still step through. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 5606 reply_id: 19359[/import]

Thanks bedhouin I hadnt seen that.

I managed to get it working, very strange problem though. I realised I didnt have the latest version of the SDK so downloaded it and re-run the app and built for the sim and its ok now.

I also realised the default behaviour of the debugger is to start and wait for you to type continue to run the app. [import]uid: 7334 topic_id: 5606 reply_id: 19379[/import]
