DebugVision turns your code into something you can see.
Instead of digging through logs or guessing performance issues, DebugVision lets you instrument your code with lightweight sample points and visualize runtime behavior like an oscilloscope - live, interactive, and precise.
DebugVision is an open-source tool for visual debugging and profiling.
It helps you:
- 📊 Visualize timing and performance (latency, jitter, spikes)
- 🎯 Trigger on specific events in your code
- 🔍 Zoom into problem areas with high precision
- 🧠 Understand complex runtime behavior at a glance
Oscilloscope 👉 but for your software.
- Visualize how your game loop behaves 🎮
- Explore timing in robotics or hardware projects 🤖
- Turn boring logs into interactive graphs 📈
- Experiment and see how code behaves in real time

- Add sample points to your code
- Run your application
- Watch your system behavior unfold visually
You can:
- Track loop timing (min / max / average)
- Inspect execution paths
- Detect anomalies and performance regressions
- Build custom visualizations for your domain
DebugVision is not tied to a single programming language.
- ⚡ C++ backend (high-performance, low-level instrumentation)
- 🐍 Python backend (rapid prototyping & flexibility)
- ➕ Designed to support any language via extensible adapters
If you can emit structured runtime data, you can plug into DebugVision.
The visualization layer is still evolving ? and this is a great place to contribute.
Strong directions we are exploring:
- 🌐 In-browser UI (cross-platform, zero install)
- ⚡ JavaScript-based visualization
- ⚙️ WebAssembly for performance-critical parts
- 📦 Modern frameworks like Svelte
The frontend is intentionally open-ended ? your ideas can shape it.
Debugging shouldn't feel like guessing.
Traditional tools:
- Logs ? too noisy
- Breakpoints ? too slow
- Profilers ? too abstract
DebugVision gives you:
- ⚡ Real-time insight
- 🎨 Visual clarity
- 🧩 Flexible instrumentation
- Game loops (frame timing, spikes)
- Embedded systems
- Robotics / control loops
- High-performance backend systems
- Experimental projects & learning
You don't need to be an expert to contribute.
This project is especially friendly to:
- 🌸 Beginners in C++ / systems programming
- 🎓 Students learning about performance & debugging
- 👩💻 People from underrepresented groups in tech
If you're curious, motivated, and want to learn? you belong here.
We're building something ambitious, and we need help.
You can contribute by:
- Fixing bugs
- Improving the UI/UX
- Building frontend experiments 👀
- Adding language backends
- Writing docs or tutorials
- Suggesting ideas

We want DebugVision to become:
The go-to tool for understanding software behavior visually.
Not just for experts but for any developer who wants clarity.
If you've ever thought:
"There must be a better way to understand what my code is doing..."
You're in the right place.
- git clone https://github.com/CobaltFusion/DebugVision.git
- do to the /fastapi/ directory and run 'start.bat' on windows to get a first impression.
