I recently added a couple new debugging features to Tuxemon, including a "event status overlay".  The overlay displays all the running events from a map on the screen, and color codes the conditions, so you can test your logic and figure out why things are happening.  I recently was bug hunting and made the overlay because i just couldn't figure out why a particular event's actions were not triggering.  Well, now you can watch, in real-time, what the game is doing while checking map events.  I may add more to it....  If the mappers have any ideas about what to add or change, please discuss it here...

Below is a link to the github issue what I've brought it up.  Please check it out to see some screenshots.

These tools are awesome. Hopefully this will help out map developers to troubleshoot events. Just for everyone's reference here, they can enable the debug overlay by editing their ~/.tuxemon/tuxemon.cfg file and setting collision_map = 1.

I've opened a new github issue to discuss debugging features.  This is a proposal for new features to make map testing and development much faster by giving players a hidden menu to change game settings, load maps, etc.  Please check it out and comment if you have ideas.
