I haven't tried this, but https://github.com/ketchupsalt/debugger https://github.com/ketchupsalt/debugger might be of interest to you. More generally, it's not actually sandboxed inside a web browser, you can interact with system through REST-ish API as well. see https://starfighter.readme.io/docs/retrieve-device-status https://starfighter.readme.io/docs/retrieve-device-status for some documentation on that. It's obviously pretty inconvenient to get a full debugger type experience that way, but I don't really see how they could make it less sandboxed, given the constraint that the authoritative copy of everything must run on their servers for security. I do wish all the commands gave some sort of feedback, load in particular is super frustrating that way.

This line seems like a bug to me (assigning the int 16 to a variable that should be of an enumerated type {I8, I16, I32, S, R}, though I don't know if Go has those): https://github.com/ketchupsalt/debugger/blob/master/commandline.go#L73 https://github.com/ketchupsalt/debugger/blob/master/commandl...

  There are probably a zillion little bugs in that thing (I haven't used it in months) but if people really want it to work, I'm probably less than 4 concerted hours from making it workable.

Which "load" command? What's the feedback you're looking for? Did you write a C program, click the compile button, and now want to run it? Just type "run". There's an in-game reason why we break out the flash/load/exec commands the way we do, but "run" does all the fiddly steps.

  I want typing "load foo.cg" and hitting enter in the debugger to print _something_, almost anything. Ideally it would print different things depending on whether foo.cg actually exists and is a valid file to try to load or not. Just some sort of feedback indicating that the command actually did something would be great. I like the different load/flash/vmload/vmexec commands, I've certainly needed to stop at points in the middle to inspect the debugger state.

    Oh. Yep, like "compile", that command is vestigial (the source editor used to live in a tab, and, ironically, the file saving stuff made more sense that way, driven from commands on the CLI). Yep, I can make "load" do that. Give me a few hours, though! It's an easy task, but I'm tethered through my iPhone right now.

      I personally am in no rush for this, all my discretionary coding time is currently going to a work sample for an opportunity Starfighter found me at the moment.
