You need a debugger, you say?
In all the games and programs that I created for the Coco, not once did
I ever used a debugger. Or maybe I should say, no outside debugging
program.
My games had their own OS complete with drivers, signaling and game
status systems. The status system was very handy for "debugging" a
problem in the game. But in most cases of the code "just stop working",
I would return to the source code I just worked on and look for the
problem there.
I my opinion, debuggers are overrated and you should learn to code
without a crutch.
