This tool is designed for controlling the game’s speed in Solar2D, primarily for debugging purposes. It allows you to adjust the speed of various game elements, providing a flexible environment for testing and debugging.

You can find a keyboard.lua inside the GameSpeed folder which is has the basic controls for this tool. It is in a different file since this is very likely the file you will like to change according to your project.

• Space bar: Toggle Fast mode.
• Left arrow key (hold): Fast mode on.
• Right arrow key (hold): Slow mode on.
• Up arrow key: Speed++.
• Down arrow key: Speed--.

• Early Initialization: The tool must be required early in the app to avoid issues with enterFrame events, transitions, or delays.
• Debugging Use Only: This tool is intended for debugging purposes and should never be used in production. While reliable, it lacks precision.
• os.clock() Behavior: The os.clock() function still returns the actual time to prevent “going back in time” when reloading the app.
• Physics Interaction: The tool affects physics, but using physics.setTimeScale(scale) in conjunction with this tool can cause conflicts.
