Run your code through vardbg generating a video. If that run results in unexpected behaviour then you can step back and forward through the video and see where things went wrong.</text></comment>
<story><title>Show HN: Debugger that generates video visualizations for algorithm learning</title><url>https://github.com/CCExtractor/vardbg</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>foreigner</author><text>I&amp;#x27;ve always wanted a tool that can create a flowchart from the flow control of a piece of code. Ideally it would be bidirectional - you could drag and drop things in the flowchart and the text sourcecode would change, and vice versa. There are a million tools that do this with object or class diagrams, but I&amp;#x27;ve never seen one that does it with imperative flow control code (if&amp;#x2F;then, switch&amp;#x2F;case, while &amp;amp; for loops, etc.).</text></comment>
