Feature Request: Interface for external debugging #32

Open indigodarkwolf opened 2 years ago

indigodarkwolf commented 2 years ago

It would be nice if folks could launch Box16 in such a way that they could "attach" to it with an external IDE like Atom or VS Code, or even Visual Studio (or maybe GDB?) and be able to set breakpoints, step through their code, inspect machine state, etc., etc., just as one might when debugging some native executable with debugging information.

This is currently very open-ended in its definition and scope. Personally, I don't have a lot of insight into the technical side of this (yet).
