Debug Mode

Edit the game's config file and set the debugMode variable to a non-zero value. 1 will initialize Debug Mode 1, 2 will initialize Debug Mode 2, and 3 or higher will initialize Debug Mode 3.

Debug Mode 1

Shows some basic debugging stuff.

• Frame: Lists the FPS.
• Min: Lists the maximum amount of FPS the game can reach (it's rather pointless).
• Max: Lists the minimum amount of FPS the game can reach (in this case, it's about 25 FPS).
• Accuracy: Probably lists how accurate the FPS count is.
• Sprites: The left value lists how many sprites are on-screen, while the right value lists how many sprites are loaded.
• Surfaces: Lists the background objects.
• Collisions: Lists the amount of collisions the game deals with.
• Wave, Stage, and System: Values that determine the current wave.

Debug Mode 2

Along with the features from the first debug mode, the second one adds the following:

• The pathfinding system used by AI-controlled objects is displayed.

Debug Mode 3

Along with the features from the first and second debug modes, the third one adds the following:

• The hitboxes of various sprites and surfaces are highlighted. Drawing them is very resource-intensive, so the game may slow down.
