Command Line Arguments

When run, Yaeger accepts command line arguments. These arguments are primarily meant for debugging your Game.

–showBBShow the BoundingBox of all instances of YaegerEntity that implement either Collider or Collided.
–showDebugShow a debug window with information about the Scene. More information on the debug window can be found here.
–enableScrollEnable the scrolling gesture for all instances of ScrollableDynamicScene. This can help during the development process of such a scene.
–limitGWULimit the Game World Update (GWU) to a max of 60/sec.
–helpShow this help screen with all commandline options.

Using command line arguments from an IDE

Since the command line arguments mainly focus on the development cycle, they will likely only be used during development of a Yaeger Game. In such a case you will be working in an IDE, which will also be responsible for creating a run configuration. Part of such a run configuration will be the (extra) arguments that can be passed to the application. So check the documentation of your IDE to see where these arguments can be entered.
