Released and maintaining DrawDebugTools (DDT)
GamedevWorks
Since 2020
- I created a tool for Unity3D using C# to help in debugging gameplay mechanics and systems . It offers several draw functions to debug visually and to know what your code is doing.
I created it using Immediate Draw Mode (Gl functions) so it can be fast without impacting game performance. - AssetStore: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/draw-debug-tools-ddt-163706
