Nethercore Debugging

The debug system is built into the Nethercore player and works with all consoles.

F4 Debug Inspector

Press F4 during development to open the Debug Inspector. This is your primary debugging tool.

Features:

• Live value editing (sliders, toggles, color pickers)
• Read-only watches for monitoring
• Grouped/collapsible organization
• Frame control (pause, step, time scale)
• Zero overhead in release builds

Quick Reference

Range-Constrained (Sliders)

debug_register_f32_range(b"Speed".as_ptr(), 5, &SPEED, 0.0, 20.0);
debug_register_i32_range(b"Lives".as_ptr(), 5, &LIVES, 0, 10);

Keyboard Shortcuts

Frame Control

fn update() {
    if debug_is_paused() != 0 { return; }
    let dt = delta_time() * debug_get_time_scale();
    // ...
}

Typical Setup

static mut PLAYER_X: f32 = 0.0;
static mut GRAVITY: f32 = 9.8;
static mut GOD_MODE: u8 = 0;

fn init() {
    unsafe {
        debug_group_begin(b"Player".as_ptr(), 6);
        debug_watch_f32(b"X".as_ptr(), 1, &PLAYER_X);
        debug_register_f32_range(b"Gravity".as_ptr(), 7, &GRAVITY, 1.0, 50.0);
        debug_register_bool(b"God Mode".as_ptr(), 8, &GOD_MODE);
        debug_group_end();
    }
}
