Debug features

FlameGame features

Flame provides some debugging features for the FlameGame class. These features are enabled when the debugMode property is set to true (or overridden to be true). When debugMode is enabled, each PositionComponent will be rendered with their bounding size, and have their positions written on the screen. This way, you can visually verify the components boundaries and positions.

To see a working example of the debugging features of the FlameGame, check this example.

FPS

The FPS reported from Flame might be a bit lower than what is reported from for example the Flutter DevTools, depending on which platform you are targeting. The source of truth for how many FPS your game is running in should be the FPS that we are reporting, since that is what our game loop is bound by.

FpsComponent

The FpsComponent can be added to anywhere in the component tree and will keep track of how many FPS that the game is currently rendering in. If you want to display this as text in the game, use the FpsTextComponent.

FpsTextComponent

The FpsTextComponent is simply a TextComponent that wraps an TextComponent, since you most commonly want to show the current FPS somewhere when you the FpsComponent is used.
