In this tutorial, I explain how to create a suite of debug drawing functions that allow you to add lines, circles and boxes to your game world at any point in your code. These are useful for visually finding bugs in complex code such as physics. This is also helpful for visually debugging game code, such as checking if a raycast is pointing in the right direction. We will use these functions to draw our grids in the next episode, right before we implement our snap to grid functionality.
