so I’m curious if anyone has some links to tutorials addressing how to properly use the debugger. I’ve heard its a good alternative to using trace methods but after doing a quick search I couldn’t find much info on how to use it. I really just want to track a few variables during runtime without the clutter of traces…thanks!
