| Quick And Dirty Parameter Tuning Submitted by

Have you ever had a parameter value that you needed to tune interactively but didn't want to spend the time to make that possible? You can use your debugger to do this easily.
Original code:
thePhysics->ConstrainPosition(0.05,0.04,0);
Tunable code:
static float xstr = 0.05;
static float ystr = 0.04;
thePhysics->ConstrainPosition(xstr,ystr,0);
By setting a breakpoint and modifying the value of the statics you can tune the values in a persistant fashion (i.e. they won't get reset between invocations of the code within the same debug session) without recompiling your .exe.
