A sure way to find an in-game frame in the log file is to press one of the visualizer’s keys while in the game. This
will write a message to the log file that can be used to locate the messages logged for the frame at the time the
key was pressed. The message logged when the ZNearInterestUpKey is pressed for instance starts with “Z near
interest”, which is a substring unique to changes in ZNearInterest by the user.
