Debugger API?

by Sherman Pendley · in Torque Game Engine · 10/05/2009 (10:44 am) · 4 replies

Is there a Debugger API? That is, are there any existing engine classes I should be looking at, if I wanted to write a editor/debugger/IDE application? Is the interface that Torsion uses documented somewhere?

Edit: Why not just use Torsion? Because I can't. I use a Mac. I'm tired of waiting for MacTorsion - I'm gonna write my own. :-)

i know that you can connect to the debug version of the .exe with telnet for debug, so i think that you need to research for telnet debuggers, maybe are some articles in the tdn.

Torsion and others use the Telnet debugger built into the engine itself, not just from the debug version of .exe but release too. That's where you should start hunting.

Good info indeed!

I'd already found the list of commands in telnetDebugger.cc, but hadn't yet reviewed all of the relevant methods to find the expected responses.
