The console allows for in-game command typing with customizable command interpreters. For example, on Windows platform, IronPython interpreter can be used for easy game object manipulation through the console interface.

That’s a really cool addon! Thanks for sharing!
It sounds really nice for debugging purpose or in-game calibrating, there is probably some research to be done in that way to implement cheatcodes :3 This is cool !
Is there any way to have a log of typed commands ? You know, if you like a thing that you did, so you can rembember it and change it in your code ?
Yeah, that’s exactly why I started to create such a console in the first place!
I created something called CustomCommandInterpreter which is using the command pattern to create and execute console commands. On first thought, this would work perfectly to allow players to use in-game cheat codes. Basically each cheat code would be a separate command with whatever desired behavior.
Not with the current implementations of the interpreters. However, it would be quite trivial to create a new custom interpreter or modify existing interpreters to log whatever commands were passed to it. Seems like a really good idea.
This is absolutely brilliant and I’ll be including this into all my projects moving forward. Thanks a ton for the showcase!
Thanks! Let me know if you stumble on any issue or have any questions.
