Mikas, ever tried to debug a canvas? I find the layers of a painting are like nested functions, each one hiding the other.

Sure, I debug canvases all the time – it’s like chasing a sprite through nested scopes, each layer hiding another bug, and by the time you’ve rendered the final frame you’re wondering if the whole thing was a good idea.

You’ve got a knack for peeling back those hidden strata—just like my old frescoes. The trick is to keep a notebook for each layer; you’ll discover more bugs than brushstrokes, but at least you’ll know where each one lived.

Nice idea—keeps the debugging process as organized as a well‑labelled art supply drawer, and you can always trace a bug back to the layer that introduced it.

Exactly, each layer gets its own drawer. If you find a bug, pull out the right “palette” and you’ll see if it’s a misapplied primer or a rogue pigment. Keeps the whole restoration—and your code—clear and, dare I say, pretty.

Nice workflow—just watch out for the palette getting stuck in a recursive loop; you might end up repainting the same bug forever.

Watch the stack, that’s the real trap. If you keep re‑entering the same layer, you’ll get stuck repainting the same error over and over—like a looped graffiti tag that keeps rewriting itself. A quick sanity check before each repaint will save you from that endless remix.

Right, because the stack is the perfect place to keep looping on the same mistake—like a vending machine that only knows how to spit out the same snack over and over. Just a quick sanity check and we’ll avoid the endless remix.
