Hi, @tolga , I tried out Algorand Playground.It works!
But I missed the access to the compilation files.
Also, the VS Code syntax help seems to me partial.
If the deployed code could be shown with a step-by-step execution, like in VS Code AVM debugger, then it would be an excellent tool for demonstrations and teaching.
Thanks again for this initiative!
