means to debug your programs just seeing that the functions and modules are there in the global area will tell you if the function has been defined or the module has been imported you can also ignore the __builtins____doc__and __name__ lines in the global area (those are variables that appear in every python program when the playagain variable is created it will show up in the global area next to the variable name will be the string 'yesthe debugger lets you see the values of all the variables in the program as the program runs this is useful for fixing bugs locals area there is also locals areawhich shows you the local scope variables and their values the local area will only have variables in it when the program execution is inside of function when the execution is in the global scopethis area is blank the go and quit buttons if you get tired of clicking the step button repeatedly and just want the program to run normallyclick the go button at the top of the debug control window this will tell the program to run normally instead of stepping to terminate the program entirelyjust click the quit button at the top of the debug control window the program will exit immediately this is helpful if you must start debugging again from the beginning of the program stepping intooverand out start the dragon realm program with the debugger keep stepping until the debugger is at line as shown in figure - this is the line with displayintro(when you click step againthe debugger will jump into this function call and appear on line the first line in the displayintro(function the kind of stepping you have been doing is called stepping into this is different from stepping overexplained next post questions to
