When it comes to debugging, I'm very much an old-school printf trace logger type of person (Who needs 'em stinkin' debuggers? Not this guy! 😎)

So I've been prefixing my LOG_MSG statements with stuff like to >>>>>>>> and !!!!!!!!! and ******* to make them stand out from the rest, then started repurposing LOG_ERR and LOG_WARNING because the coloured output makes my debug/trace messages stand out even more.

Then today it dawned on me: I can actually make LOG_DEBUG output stuff in a different colour with loguru! I've also seen the light and realised that @weirddan455 was right all along—module-specific DEBUG_MODULNAME ifdefs are the way to go. So I started converting a few modules to that convention as well.

Here's how it looks in action with mixer.cpp and vga_draw.cpp debug logging enabled. As you can see, my VGA and mixer debug crap doesn't get drowned in the rest of the crap anymore. Crap stands out, loud and clear—it doesn't get better than that! 😎 🤘🏻

...except when it does! 😆 I've also added LOG_TRACE for good measure which uses a nice purple colour .
