    I think step over and step into are used for debugging your program so you can test individual lines at a time, or something like that, not sure, I just know I heard something similar to step into, maybe it was step into, in one of my programming classes in school, either for C++ or Java. We didn't do it, but the teacher said it's to test one line at a time or something like that. I may be wrong, it's just what I think it has to do from hearing something similar (or the same) as it in another language, if I remember what I heard correctly.

    step into and step over are for debuging. It's in a lot of IDEs. For example Netbeans.

    SCAR project files are packages that hold several .scar files, I think. I havent seen them in a while.

    With step over you can skip a loop while you are debugging so you don't have to step so damn lot if your loop is long. Step into is what Baked said.

    They're used for debugging, however, since SCAR doesn't support any type of breakpoints, they're only used to see where the script is up to (i.e: Keep clicking the button and the line which the interpreter is up to will be highlighted in blue).
    You may contact me with any concerns you have.
