Tools Engineering

During my internship I have been in charge for multiple improvements of the UX of the Editor. I have introduced different views to the Asset Browser, which are modeled after the Windows Explorer: Grid, List, Detail View. Besides, I have introduced the concept of asset labels, which allows for quick grouping assets together with labels. Also the user can filter with those labels assets.

The bigger tasks was to introduce a Debugger to our Visual Scripting language. This was were most of my time went. I introduced breakpoints, flow visualization, step through and a watch value functionality.
