What is the best way to debug?

	~~== What is the best way to debug? ==~~

	~~On the server side (PHP), you can use one of these:~~
	* die(var_dump( $variable_to_inspect );
	* throw new BgaUserException(var_dump( $variable_to_inspect );

	~~On the client side (Javascript), we recommand installing Firebug for Firefox (or using the 'Developer tools' with Chrome that have about the same functionalities), then:~~
	* console.log( variable_to_inspect ); will give you the object structure of the variable in the Firebug console, without blocking the execution. It's often a good idea to precede this call with a console.log( '### HERE ###' ); to find more easily the appropriate line in the console log.
	* alert( variable_to_inspect ); will popup what you wish and pause the execution until you click ok. This won't be useful for complex structures, only native types will get plainly displayed. But this is sometimes useful just with messages to make sure which way the execution goes.

	In general for debugging, think of using the 'Save & restore state' functionality. It enables you to save the state of your game just before the issue you are investigating, then come back to that point with one click as many times as needed to understand what is going wrong. You can save up to 3 different states.

	~~=== Some frequent errors ===~~

	~~; The following error occurs when launching the game "Fatal error during creation of database ebd_quoridor_389 Not logged."~~
	: Check that you didn't use $g_user or getCurrentPlayerId() in setupNewGame() function or in an "args" function of your state. As these functions are not consequences of a user action, there is no current player defined. As a general rule, you should use getActivePlayerId() and not getCurrentPlayerId(). See the [http://www.slideshare.net/boardgamearena/bga-studio-focus-on-bga-game-state-machine presentation on the game state machine] for more information.

	~~== Is there a quick way to access the database for my current table? ==~~

	~~Yes! While playing a game on studio, you have a "Go to game database" link at the bottom of your game. This link will bring you directly to the database for the current table.~~

	~~You can use the 'Express start' function. It will automatically make the specified number of players join the game (using the first of your ten player accounts available) and start the game.~~

	~~During the game, there is a red arrow on the right of each player name, that you can use to open a tab from this player's perspective.~~

	~~You can also end the game in two clicks by clicking the 'End game' button then selecting 'Express game stop' in the popup.~~

	~~Yes. This declaration is made through transparent functions, that depend on the context.~~

	~~In javascript files, you should use _( 'My string to translate' ).~~

	In php files, you should use self::_( 'My string to translate' ) when the string can be translated on the server side (ex: title included in the game layout) and clienttranslate( 'My string to translate' ) when the string must be translated on the client side (ex: message for the game log).
