Code Compiler in PowerPoint


I'm giving a presentation on c++ and am wondering if PowerPoint has a way to run a debugger in it?

Id like to show my audience a snippet of code and walk through it allowing them to see how the variables behave as we progress through the code, rather than closing down the slideshow and opening up a compiler.

Any add-ins or built-in functionality to support this type of presentation?


Solution

  • Found an answer to my question:

    pythontutor.com

    Also comes with a Microsoft add-in, but since the compilers for c&c++ are still experimental in the add-in they are not supported via the add-in yet. A workaround for this is using the "Action" button on the Insert tab and choosing "mouse click" to open a browser window the full web application.

    Thanks for your suggestions though.
