Help! Unsaved work stuck in frozen unity, believed to be from infinite loop. What can i do?

I used this code as i wanted to only move one way at a time to stick strictly to two axis but i believe i created an infinite loop from looking at http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/32826/can-the-unity-editor-break-out-of-an-infinite-loop.html, the question seemed to solve my problem but as i have the latest version of unity i now use visual studio not mono-develop so i am quite stuck. I will display my code so that you can maybe spot how to avoid an infinite loop while keeping the desired functionality.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Swivel : MonoBehaviour {
     public int speed;
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
     
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
         int blah = 1;
         while (blah == 1)
         {
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
             {
                 transform.Rotate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * speed);
                 break;
             }
 
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.RightArrow))
             {
                 transform.Rotate(Vector3.down * Time.deltaTime * speed);
                 break;
             }
 
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.UpArrow))
             {
                 transform.Rotate(Vector3.left * Time.deltaTime * speed);
                 break;
             }
 
             if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.DownArrow))
             {
                 transform.Rotate(Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime * speed);
                 break;
             }
         }
     }
 }

Visual studio is still working but i just need help to protect my unsaved work through the same technique as

I know it's an old question but I do have a better solution. As others have said: don't use an infinite loop by design. However if you did it by mistake and don't want to loose a whole scene or other unsaved data here's what you can do:

1) Open mono develop and attach it to the editor if you haven't already.(Run

Attach To Process)

2) Pause execution from mono develop.(Run > Pause)

3) Go to your immediate window (View > Debug Windows, if you don't see it at the bottom).

4) Modify the value that's causing you to loop infinitely. The Immediate window lets you just type in some code that will execute in that scope.

For me, the problem was looping over a list and trying to find a specific value that matched an element. I didn't properly handle the value not existing so it looped infinitely. All I had to do was call listname.Clear(); in the immediate window and the loop broke out on the next iteration.

If you were doing something exceptionally silly like while(true){ / some silly code / } you might be able to break out by just calling return. If you were calling that function every frame you might have to be a bit more sneaky and call T.Destroy(gameObject.GetComponent()) or something to that effect to remove the script that's calling that silly function.

I hope this helps someone else who doesn't want to nuke their work in progress!

Cheers.

Thank you for reading this and if you can help please help sooner rather than later as I am eager to finish off my work. Thanks!
