Developer Mode

Developer mode enables various features intended to be used by developers of the game, most notably various Cheats. This mode cannot be entered by means of a graphical user interface.

SuperTux 0.3

To enable developer mode, start the game with the --developer option.

To do this on macOS, control-click on the SuperTux.app bundle and select 'Open Contents'. Then open the MacOS folder. Open a new terminal window, drag the SuperTux binary from the MacOS folder in that terminal window and type --developer. Hit enter to start SuperTux.

On Linux or UNIX-like systems, run supertux2 --developer in a terminal.

Windows users can create a shortcut to the SuperTux exe and append --developer in the Target option of the shortcut's properties. Alternatively you can run this from the command prompt.

The option can be made permanent with:

(developer #t)

in the SuperTux Configuration File.

SuperTux 0.1

In the SuperTux 0.1 releases, this mode is called Debug Mode. Follow the process as described above, but instead of the --developer option you need to use the --debug-mode option. Also note that the binary is usually called supertux for these releases, and not supertux2. Therefore, on Linux you would for example actually run supertux --debug-mode.
