yy-counter

In-browser counter to watch changeable values like counters or variables watches

Rationale

While console.log is helpful for debugging, it does not work well for watching values that change quickly, like counters, (x, y) coordinates, or FPS. That's where console-counter comes in.

console-counter.js quickly and easily creates an in-browser console and attaches it to a corner of the screen. It also stacks mulitple counters

Code Example

const Counter = require('yy-counter')

const counter = new Counter({side: 'top-left'})

let n = 0
setInterval(() => counter.log(n++), 250)
