System Hooks Are Your Friend

Here's an example of how setting a debug hook in Leadwerks3D from a BlitzMax program saved me a lot of time stepping through code to figure out where something went wrong. When the engine encounters a fatal error, the hook is called, giving control back to the main program.

I can even step through the BlitzMax debugger and see which call to Leadwerks3D produced the error:

And it works with all supported languages. Little things like this make programming with Leadwerks3D very enjoyable.

That's great. Will make debugging much easier. Especially with the data driven design stuff because often you will get crashes that are caused by bad info in the database rather than the code and it takes a long time to identify that that is the case.

Love to see the words "works with all supported languages".
