Cheats

• unleash the beast - disable frame rate throttling.
• don't edit and drive - enable editing while playing a level.
• scroll scroll scroll your boat - enable scrolling the level with arrow keys while playing a level.
• import antigravity - during Play Mode, disables gravity for the player character and allows free movement in all directions with the arrow keys. Enter the cheat again to restore gravity to normal.
  • Note: under antigravity, hold down the Shift key to lower the player speed to only one pixel per tick.
• ghost mode - during Play Mode, toggles noclip for the player character.

Bool Props

Some boolean switches can be toggled in the command shell.

Usage: boolProp <name> <value>

The value is truthy if its first character is the letter T or the number 1. All other values are false. Examples: True, true, T, t, 1.

• Debug or D: toggle debug mode within the app.
• DebugOverlay or DO: toggle the debug text overlay.
• DebugCollision or DC: toggle collision hitbox lines.

Interesting Tricks

Editable Map While Playing

In Play Mode run the command:

Command	Effect
$ d.Scene.Drawing().Editable = true	Can click and drag new pixels onto the level while playing it.
$ d.Scene.Drawing().Scrollable = true	Arrow keys scroll the map, like in editor mode.
$ d.Scene.Drawing().NoLimitScroll = true	Allow map to scroll beyond bounded limits.

The equivalent Canvas in the Edit Mode is at d.Scene.UI.Canvas

Edit Out-of-Bounds in Editor Mode

In Edit Mode run the command:

$ d.Scene.UI.Canvas.NoLimitScroll = true

and you can scroll the map freely outside of the normal scroll boundaries. For example, to see/edit pixels outside the top-left edges of bounded levels.
