    Running Debug in Real Time, possible?

    My combat routine is causing me random crashes and I amwondering if there is anyway I can watch my variables while the program is running in real time. I know I can put break points in debug but that would not serve my purpose here. I am working on MS Visual Studio .NET. Please help if anybody has any suggestions. Thanks.

    Why not display them to screen every X seconds? Just add the appropriate code to your render routine to draw text over the top of everything else, and wait for the axe to fall

    Why not create a console window and redirect cout or cerr to it and then you have a very nice debug window that you can log stuff to and watch variables.

    erm, yes it would. Step through your program and watch the state of the variables.... or just print them out as suggested above.
