Beginners > Debug a game

#57321 - NighTiger - Fri Oct 14, 2005 10:48 pm

Hi guys,
I have just read the beginners faq but I didn't find nothing about the debug.
I would like to know how I can debug a game.
tnx

Try the answer to "how can I output text?" and write some text in an area of the screen that's not important in your game engine. Use siprintf() or posprintf() or something to convert numbers to text.

Then buy a copy of no$gba. Great tool BTW :)

yeah, if the no$gba-guy would actually give you the emulator after you pay for it instead of ripping you off and not responding to emails.

I'd suggest you check the law surrounding slander. Martin has a very good reputation which I for one don't like seeing sullied by random comments like this.

At least in the United States, the provable truth of a statement is an absolute defense to libel.

kusma: What is your evidence?

I myself recently purchased the home version of Martin's debugger. It did take a couple of days for him to respond (he indicated that he was off on a project/job somewhere) but respond he did and I received the debugger without a hitch.

BTW, I found and fixed an illegal memory read within 5 minutes of installing the thing!
