alice-teacher How to debug in Alice

[Don Slater]

No, unfortunately these features have not yet been implemented in Alice 3.

It is possible to export your Alice project into the NetBeans programming environment, using eh NetBeans plugin.

NetBeans is a full-featured Programming IDE, with many debugging too that you could use with your Alice project.

Let me know if you would like more information.

All the best,
Don Slater
