If you issue, on a terminal,
supertuxkart --help
But that list does not include the debug features.
you will get a list of all terminal commands, including debug ones (if you have a debug build). However there are also other debug keys, and I don't think we have a list (Joerg?); for fly mode, in a debug build you may use key "i" to go up and "k" to go down. However this will not work with a release build you would download from our website
(Joerg: maybe we should somehow make these features available in release build too, for modellers to be able to use them without building from source...)
That's actually a difficult question. Many features are very useful, but others might be used to give away too much of the game (i.e. seeing the drivelines might tell you were hidden shortcuts are; checkline debug information can be used to find unwanted shortcuts). Also I can't distribute a normal debug executable for windows, since the MS VS redistributable package does not include the debug dlls (and I think even the license might prevent me from doing that).
Perhaps we should make a special 'for artists' version, replacing some #ifdef DEBUG with #ifdef ARTIST_VERSION or so. That would at least solve the technical difficulties of how to distribute the binary (on windows).
Then perhaps offer the artists-executables (only) as additional downloads, so at least the majority of players won't get it automatically?
Cheers,
Joerg
