Debbuger with color?

Post by ricardo »

I guess could be nice if we can coloring each debug call to be able to distinguis easily each one.

Debug Strf(xtime),RGB(255,0,0)
Debug Strf(xInterval),RGB(0,0,255)

Could be usefull since sometimes we are displaying many items in the debug window (at least i do it for any music stuff) and could make it more readable to be able to set a color for each kind of call (use some color for different info you want to display in the debugger).

Just an idea.

One additional question:

Why is a console much faster than debugger to display info?

For info generated very fast (ms) i usually need to use a console instead of debugger for debugging.

Because the debugger is an external program and it requires interprocess communication to get the data to it which is slower than console output.
