Snippet Console tricks

[Wingnut]

Here's a simple command that you can use for whenever you are doing long sessions of debugging and use HTML5.

' A Clear console command
' Only use while you compile for the HTML5 platform!
' A simple console clear command can be powerful and it's often practical to use HTML5 to debug your code while developing for other platforms as it allows for quick testing.
' If you have your console to output debug information it can eventually become a mess and hard to scroll around in, that's when this command will be helpful.
' Sure you can always print out dividers and labels for information but sometimes you need to make it neater to find information later.
' By the way, this clean command can also help you to keep the log from growing into infinity, when you want to run code for a long time.
