I got tired of modifying my debug code everytime I wanted a new statistic displayed, so I made this:

+ Code Snippet


global debugStatCount

function debugResetStatCount()

   debugStatCount=0
   debugDisplayStat("FPS",str$(screen fps()))
   debugDisplayStat("Polygons",str$(STATISTIC(1)))

endfunction

function debugDisplayStat(label$,value$)

   inc debugStatCount
   a = 12-len(label$) : if a<1 then a=1
   label$=space$(a)+label$

   text 1, ((debugStatCount -1) * 15), label$ + ":  "+value$


endfunction

At the top of your main loop put this:

+ Code Snippet

debugResetStatCount()

...then anywhere in your code in any module, at any time when you want to see a variable on the screen, just add code like this:

+ Code Snippet


REM For Strings
debugDisplayStat("myStringVariable",myStringVariable$)

REM For anything else
debugDisplayStat("myVariable",str$(myVariable))
