  I forgot to mention, in debug mode you can hover over variables and it will tell you their value...

  I think he was just joking! He builds internal tool so that when game release, he run a command to merge all the OOP file into one file main )

  Coming soon

  No, I easily find my way around a program I've made with over 100k lines (not other peoples code though). If this isn't normal then maybe it's some advantage to having Aphantasia?
  
  Anyhow, here is a close up on the new set of icons...

  Btw, all of the new debugger stuff is work @hgy29 has been doing tirelessly to make Gideros much better for everyone, especially for beginners or those who need debug functions.
  
  If you want to encourage him to add more then I'm sure some donations would be appreciated, at least to buy him a drink!

  About the feedback - does everyone like the new look of the icons?

  Here is a couple of screenshots of the code running on a fire tablet with the code being stepped though in the Studio - you can even see what the value of a variable is that is on the tablet!

  Nothing is too complicated. But some stuff takes too much time or needs smarter coders...

  Beginners also want native speed A* pathfinding

  Thatbwould be cool @antix. Is there a good library to base it on?

  There are plenty of A* code out there. roland Yonaba's (spelling?) jumper library is good but if it was in C it would be faster than Lua
  
  There are heaps if ready to go C implementations out there that just need to be made into a plugin for it to be up and running I think.

  @antix : I'll make a pathfinder plugin if there are no other takers. It could be a good one to heavily comment and make the basis of a tutorial too.

  Very very cool, with the debugging when a breakpoint is hit as well as hovering over variables is possible to execute code like in an 'immediate' mode? Hope I'm making sense! Did I see some autocompletion improvements as well in github, maybe I was dreaming lol?

  Also, when hovering is there support to inspect tables and stuff? Debugging was one of the few things I could think of to make life easier when deving, kudos to you guys

  Sorry, tables aren’t supported yet, nor executing lua code. Tables are actually available internally to the studio, but It seemed impractical to display them in a tooltip. This will be added later, with call stack navigation, watch expression pane and immediate lua execution.

  Thats fantastic news, even without tables, and other goodies this is awesome. So handy to just step through code sometimes. Also, the new style icons look great

  I guess 'Android App Bundle' support is on the way somewhere?

  The wiki docs page also now has a new skin (thanks @hgy29 ) that makes it look much less like a wiki and more like a proper help website:

  I guess even now we can export Gideros project to Android Studio.
  And then from Android Studio to App Bundle.
  
  Did somebody try it already? Or some other manipulations will be needed?
