how do you guys debug your programs? currently, i''m running a console app with GLUT, so that i can check values in the console window by just using cout for whatever values i want to see. but the final game will be in WIN32. is there a way to bring up a console window so i can use my favorite old cout in a windows app? (i''ve been using message boxes and "colorchanging" statements, and it''s a pain the ass to debug realtime values like position, etc.) a2k

I just blit text onto the screen with values, so they change in real time. (ie. gfxDebugPrintf (100,100, "player pos: %d, %d", player.x, player.y); (that is a function i made btw)).
