Just setup v2.0 today and watched video, Thanks @FellippeHeitor very clear and helpful. I haven't tried it yet, but I think I can use it, maybe watch video again if get stuck or forgot something. Cool to use with recursive function fix for a sample demo.

Excellent news, bplus. Let me know how you like $Debug mode and if it's useful to you in your workflow.

Ah, glad you noticed my subtle product placement in the video 😂

QB64 is a thing of beauty, seeing it getting better brings joy.
The video walkthrough is quite good, nicely done, indeed!
My thanks to all the coders keeping it alive.

An excellent and instructive video (the two adjectives are just as we'd expect from @FellippeHeitor !).  Up to this point I had believed that Debugging would be too complicated for me.  But Fellippe et al have come up with a method that idiots can use (I qualify for that community).

Video: we could hardly have expected to witness a grown man being so excited to watch an integer variable increasing by 1 every For/Next step!

[I mentioned elsewhere that I abandoned an InForm project because of misbehaviour - I shall have to try with $Debug].

QB64 is , indeed, a thing of beauty brought to us by a beauteous Team.

* For misbehaviour read coder incompetence.
