Hi Kate,

You cannot reference the Var element in newText, since newX commands are not evaluated upon runtime.

What you can do is use the Var.set and Text.text commands like this:

newTrial(
    newVar("AccSubj", 0).global(),
    newVar("AccSubjText").set( getVar("AccSubj") ).set( v => "AccSubj = "+v ),
    newText("debugInit", "").text(getVar("AccSubjText")).print(),
    newButton("Increase").print().wait(),
    getVar("AccSubj").set(1)
)

newTrial(
    newVar("AccSubjText").set( getVar("AccSubj") ).set( v => "AccSubj = "+v ),
    newText("debugInit", "").text(getVar("AccSubjText")).print(),
    newButton("Increase again").print().wait(),
    getVar("AccSubj").set( v => v + 1 )
)

newTrial(
    newVar("AccSubjText").set( getVar("AccSubj") ).set( v => "AccSubj = "+v ),
    newText("debugInit", "").text(getVar("AccSubjText")).print(),
    newButton("").wait()
)
