    How to Run & Test Time Warp Studio
    1. Download the Build: Navigate to the Time Warp Studio GitHub Releases page and download the appropriate package for your platform.
    2. Launch the Studio:
      • Linux (AppImage):bash 
        chmod +x Time_Warp_Studio-x86_64.AppImage
./Time_Warp_Studio-x86_64.AppImage
      • macOS (.DMG): Open the .dmg file and drag Time Warp Studio to your Applications folder. (Note: You may need to right-click and select "Open" to bypass unsigned developer warnings).
      • Windows (.EXE Installer): Run the standalone installer wizard to add the IDE to your desktop.


    💻 Recommended Testing Protocol
    Once inside the Borland/Turbo C++ inspired Text User Interface (TUI) and split-screen canvas layout:

    1. Execute an Interactive Command (REPL)

    • Look at the bottom command prompt.
    • Type a quick interpreter statement to verify the core mechanics:logo 
      PRINT "Hello from the parallel universe!"
      Use code with caution.


    2. Run a Multi-Language Code Demo
    Time Warp Studio sandboxes six classic educational languages. Go to File -> Open Examples and load a sample file: [1]

    • Logo / PILOT: Load a Turtle Graphics demo. Press F5 (Run) to watch the native GCC engine compile and render vector geometry in real-time onto the graphics canvas. [1] [1]
    • BASIC / Scheme / COMAL / REXX: Load a computational script. Open the execution window to trace outputs. [1]

    3. Step Through the Debugger

    • Open any BASIC or Scheme template. [1]
    • Click the left margin next to a line of code to drop a Breakpoint.
    • Press F6 (Debug). Use the status panel to watch variables change state step-by-step as you verify the backend engine.

    🛠️ Building from Source (Optional)
    If you prefer to compile manually from the MIT-Licensed Repository: [1]

    • Requirements: GCC/Clang supporting C++20, CMake (>= 3.20), and Qt6 Core/Widgets. [1]
    • Commands:bash 
      mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
