Class: Debug

Phaser.Utils. Debug

new Debug(game)

A collection of methods for displaying debug information about game objects.

If your game is running in Canvas mode, then you should invoke all of the Debug methods from your game's render function. This is because they are drawn directly onto the game canvas itself, so if you call any debug methods outside of render they are likely to be overwritten by the game itself.

If your game is running in WebGL then Debug will create a Sprite that is placed at the top of the Stage display list and bind a canvas texture to it, which must be uploaded every frame. Be advised: this is very expensive, especially in browsers like Firefox. So please only enable Debug in WebGL mode if you really need it (or your desktop can cope with it well) and disable it for production!

You can disable the debug module by omitting it from a custom build or by creating a Phaser Game with { enableDebug: false }.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
game Phaser.Game

A reference to the currently running game.
