Can someone tell me what Debug Mode means in a videogame? What's the purpose of having a code for this?
Thanks

Debug mode means basically what it says, but also ,debug is just a general meaning in programming. There are many aspects of debugging, but it could mean some thing as little as testing sprits or music, to enabling all levels open or unlimited lives or invincibility, to enable a tester to go through the game many times with out the problems of dying or starting over many times.

In other cases, it can be more in the background, like writing a log of i/o information, etc.

Like I said, debugging is just so general, but in the end, it's about finding and getting rid of bugs in software.
