# Debug features

## FPS counter

Flame provides the `FPSCounter` mixin for recording the fps, this mixin can be applied on any class that extends from `Game`. When applied you have to implemented the `recordFps` method and it should return `true` if you want to access the current fps by using the `fps` method`.

```dart
class MyGame extends Game with FPS {
  @override
  bool recordFps() => true;
}
```

## BaseGame features

Flame provides some features for debugging, these features are enabled when the method `debugMode` from the `BaseGame` class is overridden, and returning `true`. When it's enabled all `PositionComponent`s will be wrapped into a rectangle, and have its position rendered on the screen, so you can visually verify the component boundaries and position.

In addition to the debugMode, you can also ask `BaseGame` to record the fps(the `BaseGame` used the [FPSCounter](fps-counter) mixin). To enable it you have to override the `recordFps` method to return `true`, by doing so, you can access the current fps by using the method `fps`.
