Integrating Multiple Debug Views — Handmade Hero — Episode Guide

0:09No plan for today. We will pull together the debug UI code but we still don't know how

1:45Current state of the debug UI

2:21We want to bring the debug system to closure, to modify it so that it's convenient to use in the future

3:24"Oh games, they're so wacky and weird"^α

3:29We will try to unify the debug UI and the profile view

4:00We could integrate the profile display as an element of the debug variable hierarchy

4:41Introducing a new debug_variable_type enumerand for the profile system

5:22Reviewing the structure of the profile display code to think on how to integrate it

7:52Rethinking the profile enumerands

9:03Adding the profile display to the hierarchy by making the debug_variable_definition_context explicit

12:36We won't be turning these new variables into text

13:21Filtering out profile counter variables so that they're not written to the handmade config header file

14:34We need to generalize the rendering of UI elements to take into account the profile display

17:10Inserting the profile display into the hierarchy

17:46Defining the bounds of the profile display

19:59Drawing the profile display into those bounds

22:46"Meh nnn hh meh"^β

24:12AtY will now denote the upper-left corner of an element, not the baseline of the text

26:04Debugging the placement of the UI items

34:35Their positioning is still a bit faulty

34:55Collapsing the profile view

36:14Finishing the text positioning

37:22The text strings line up properly now

38:34Including a second profile display to list show counters by function

39:44We want to be able to resize the profile views

42:25We'll introduce a small handle so that the user can resize them

45:35There are several ways to treat the resize handler. We will let the caller suggest the interaction that should be performed

49:28If the click happens inside the resize rectangle, we set the HotInteraction to resize the profile view

51:45Highlighting the resize control when hovered upon

52:45Interacting with the resize control

54:00Debugging the new code

56:01It's working!

56:24Normally we would set the size of the display by measuring the distance from the point where the down-click happened to the current position, but this is internal debug code

57:53Introducing a root group

59:19panic00 Do you think this way of structuring UI code could be used to build a full application, or is it just useful for debug UIs? What extra things do you think you'd need to add to make it useful for a full app UI?
