Feature request: Pause and single step
« on: October 12, 2006, 11:18:31 PM »

First I must say that this is a very cool game or programming language or whatever, fun and addicting anyway!

Now the request:
To aid in debugging it would be really nice to be able to pause and single step the machine. Maybe even step backward but I guess that would require storing past states of the machine and may not be feasible.

I don't think I'll ever be able to figure out how ZIMASAT works without one.  You guys are geniuses.

Yes, this was something I wanted to implement but figured could wait until the game was out of beta, given that it was interface rather than universe mechanics. Stepping backwards would need an awful lot of state storage, but stepping forwards should be fine, and will be implemented soonish (and is mostly a matter of deciding exactly how to work it into the control buttons).
