Question

For some reason, Visual studio will not step into this code and I cant see the contents of the variable k and p

           for(int k=0; k<6; k++)
            {
                for(int p=0; p<6; p++)
                {
                    if(k=0)
                    {
                        levelToDraw[k][p] = LevelOne[k][p];
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        levelToDraw[k][p] = LevelOne[k-1][p];
                    }
                }
            }

Answer 1

From what I can see

        for(int k=0; k<6; k++)
        {
            for(int p=0; p<6; p++)
            {
                if(k=0)
                {
                    levelToDraw[k][p] = LevelOne[k][p];
                }
                else
                {
                    levelToDraw[k][p] = LevelOne[k-1][p];
                }
            }
        }

is an infinite loop without visible side-effects since k is always reset to zero inside the loop. (note the accidental assignment). Infinite loops without visible side-effects are undefined behavior in C++. This means the compiler can do anything at all. It can throw away the loop, for example, meaning that you can’t enter it – and this is likely what happened. Since it’s undefined behavior, it could even cause the machine to catch fire.
