So the IDE provides a DEBUG button, which works great when you want to debug things and print things to the IDE's console. I'd like to know whether my app is running in that mode so I can execute some code only if that's the case.



I could set a flag but it can be easy to forget to turn it off when compiling the game for the final user. Is there a way to check if the game was ran with DEBUG MODE?

I have added a request for this on GitHub here. Maybe you could give it a thumbs up
Meantime i use a constant (#constant DEBUG 1)

I just had a bit of an epiphany on this issue: On windows at least you could check if GetWritePath() contains the word "Windows". This would signify that the app is running in debug

Huh, interesting! That would be one way to do it

Still doesn't replace having a proper function for that but it's a great temporary solution. I think I'd rather just have a flag ATM though.
