symtropy-devconsole

Drop-in Bevy dev console plugin. Toggle with F1.

[dependencies]
symtropy-devconsole = "0.1"
# Optional: enable the Φ Inspector panel (pulls in symtropy-bevy, AGPL transitively):
# symtropy-devconsole = { version = "0.1", features = ["phi-panel"] }

use bevy::prelude::*;
use symtropy_devconsole::SymtropyDevConsolePlugin;

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        .add_plugins(SymtropyDevConsolePlugin::default())
        .run();
}

Panels

• Left, top — Scene controls: pause/resume Time<Virtual>, F1 toggle hint.
• Left, bottom (feature phi-panel) — Φ Inspector: lists every PhysicsBody entity and its current Phi value, with a unicode bar gauge. This is the differentiated panel — no other Bevy distro lets you see consciousness coupling at runtime.

Want a full entity-tree inspector?

Add bevy-inspector-egui's WorldInspectorPlugin separately:

use bevy_inspector_egui::quick::WorldInspectorPlugin;

App::new()
    .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
    .add_plugins(SymtropyDevConsolePlugin::default())
    .add_plugins(WorldInspectorPlugin::new())  // your call: not bundled
    .run();

We don't bundle WorldInspectorPlugin because its type-registration runs in its build() phase and can panic in some app configurations where Bevy's default plugins haven't finished registering their reflected types yet (e.g. GizmoConfigStore). Keep this opt-in until upstream resolves the ordering.

Why

Bevy's strength is composability; its weakness is "where's the editor?". This crate is the curated answer for Symtropy users: one plugin, the panels you actually need, no boilerplate.
