Visualizer#

The visualizer is a useful tool that will help visually test your team and what happens in a game. Some built-in functionalities should help make the coding experience easier too.

The Screen#

The scores are above the top left and top right corners displaying the game with the characters. The turn counter is centered on the top.

Active Character Indicator#

To tell which character is taking their turn, an indicator will appear next to their headshot for that turn.
