    Quick question. I find myself debugging a rather tricky piece of code, which currently ends up in an infinite loop. Is there some sort of way to stop the app from running without having to kill the editor process? Unfortunately, clicking the play or pause button is unresponsive. :(

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Not really.

    But put this in the loop while you're working on it:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape))  break;
    So you can break out from the loop on ESC key.
