[[Cueball]] is telling [[White Hat]] about his attempt at {{w|debugging}}, i.e. the process of finding out what is causing a given (computer) problem, which can become increasingly difficult and convoluted. In this case, Cueball had a problem with his {{w|Web browser|browser}}. His attempts to solve this problem led him to a problem with the {{w|Device driver|device driver}} for his {{w|Computer keyboard|keyboard}}. Chasing that issue, he found an unclear error message from a {{w|Utility software|system utility}}, and so on. | [[Cueball]] is telling [[White Hat]] about his attempt at {{w|debugging}}, i.e. the process of finding out what is causing a given (computer) problem, which can become increasingly difficult and convoluted.

This refers to the fact that a complicated riddled path was devised in the series that would lead to the sword, which is similar to the process of debugging, as it involves following clues to achieve an answer. But apart from that, they are entirely different.{{Citation needed}} This is pointed out by White Hat who states that at some point in the process he switched from the puzzle of debugging to the Redwall puzzle of finding Martin's sword. Redwall has been referenced before, most prominently in [[370: Redwall]]; where Martin and the sword can be seen; but also in [[1286: Encryptic]] and more recently in [[1688: Map Age Guide]]. |
The characters in ''Redwall'' are woodland animals, and Martin the Warrior is a mouse; the sword that Cueball finds is correspondingly tiny. | The characters in ''Redwall'' are woodland animals, and Martin the Warrior is a mouse; the sword that Cueball finds is correspondingly tiny. | ||
