first off, this has been bugging me for years, and i have never ever heard or seen any use for the "step over" and "step into" buttons. what do they do?

also, what use are the "scar project files" haha

I think step over and step into are used for debugging your program so you can test individual lines at a time, or something like that, not sure, I just know I heard something similar to step into, maybe it was step into, in one of my programming classes in school, either for C++ or Java. We didn't do it, but the teacher said it's to test one line at a time or something like that. I may be wrong, it's just what I think it has to do from hearing something similar (or the same) as it in another language, if I remember what I heard correctly.

step into and step over are for debuging. It's in a lot of IDEs. For example Netbeans.

SCAR project files are packages that hold several .scar files, I think. I havent seen them in a while.

With step over you can skip a loop while you are debugging so you don't have to step so damn lot if your loop is long. Step into is what Baked said.

ok, thanks :p

They're used for debugging, however, since SCAR doesn't support any type of breakpoints, they're only used to see where the script is up to (i.e: Keep clicking the button and the line which the interpreter is up to will be highlighted in blue).
