Pause For Thought.

Hi.

Will there ever be a feature added where you can pause (not stop) the test run of your contraption so you can see the result of an interaction at the appropriate time?

I find it would be useful for combat results of cards coming at each other in a lineup or the position of a given object when in motion.

I agree that this would be useful!

Yes, that would be useful. I actually had/have a version of that that I use when testing out new parts and debugging.

I'll look into getting an easy-to-use version of that in there when we get a new build done. Maybe, January. I'm juggling way too many tasks right now, but some of my kids are following in my gamedev footsteps and are helping me - on Minigolf Blast right now, but have plans to loop back around to Contraption Maker and get updates/fixes along with the Mighty Knights stuff.

I finally got around to adding this in the latest update.
P - Pause/Unpause Game
S - Do single step when paused
