Toolbox
Your coding Toolbox!
As you work through each mission you will be adding concepts to your toolbox.
- It's an important reference you will need in later missions
- And when you are coding and debugging your own remixes.
Debugger
Debugger to the Rescue!
The CodeSpace debugger lets you step your program one line at a time, at your own speed, so you can understand exactly what the computer is doing and debug your code. Stepping is a very powerful tool for debugging your code. Be sure to use it whenever you need to understand more clearly what the code is doing.
