# Build Flags

There are a couple of Flags you can use when building the engine that can help you in development.

# How to use flags

To use flags, simply append them to the end of your lime test PLATFORM command, like this:

lime test windows -debug -DFREEPLAY

If you use VSCode, you can simply select a build preset from the platform list.

# List of available flags

  • -debug can build the game in debug mode. This enables many debug features, such as the FlxDebugger and debugging through VSCode.
  • -DFREEPLAY and -DMENU launch the game directly in the Freeplay and MainMenu states, respectively. These can't be used together.
