The debugger is an essential tool for finding out what is happening in your game.

To start the game with the debugger, perform the following steps:

1. Start your game with debug mode enabled by choosing the ``1. Run game with debug mode`` option from the Run and Debug menu in your project's VS Code workspace.

2. Your game will start (it may take a bit longer in this mode) and will wait until you attach the debugger. To do so, start the ``2. Attach das debugger`` option.

Now you can set your breakpoints and start debugging!
