Debugging tip

If you are working with javascript objects, the following will dump them out in a nicely formatted way:
<<print JSON.stringify($var, null, 4)>>
doesn't seem to require any extra library imports (at least in 1.4.2 B3).

    Good tip!

    You can see all your variables at once with this:

    <<print JSON.stringify(state.history[0].variables, null, 4)>>

    Or for SugarCube:

    <<print JSON.stringify(state.active.variables, null, 4)>>

    It shouldn't.  The JSON global object (specifically: window.JSON) has been a browser built-in for quite a while now.

    Twine 1.4 is, in fact, programmed to halt immediately if either window.JSON or document.querySelector are missing from the user's browser.
