I was just looking through the APIs to see if there’s anything nice I can use to distinguish between release and device builds - basically I want to add in development cheats or hacks so I can test features or achievement triggers easily on my device. However I want to make sure that these don’t accidentally get compiled into a release version.
Do people have strategies for coping with that?
I have a bunch of debug variables I keep in a global _debug table.
If I want to use my local machine as a server for my game I would do:
_debug.useLocalServer = true
And then
if _debug.useLocalServer then server = “localhost” end
That type of thing.
At the bottom of my main I have a test if anything in _debug is set to true and if so, prominent yellow “DEBUG MODE” text blinks on top of my app. Did that after making several builds with debug stuff accidentally enabled
