💻 Highlight variable changes in the debugger

[Felienne]

Idea incl level In the hackathon it was suggested by Declan (who's not on GitHub) to show, somehow, in the debugger when a variable value changes. Maybe with a colored line, or a popup in the watches view?

This might be fin project for @juliabolt to get started with the debugger?

sounds like a good idea!

Right now, when running Hedy code step-by-step, the label icon is not there, until there is a variable to show. Then, you need to click that icon, if you want to see the variables and their values. How would we actually want this?

• maybe we can have the icon there, with an empty table, when there are no variables yet?
• maybe, when there is a variable, we do not wait for the user to click on the icon, but we show the list of variables immediately? Then they can click the icon if they do not want to see the list (instead of the other way around)
• we can still change the color or something when a variable changes, to give it extra attention
