C++ sandbox project for prototyping a runtime command console that can execute custom commands in a live application without relying on a GUI.

My role

Solo engine tools programmer.

Custom C++ Application

Capabilities

  • Runtime command console integrated directly into the application loop
  • CVar-style command registration and parsing pipeline
  • Custom commands for driving behaviour and triggering code paths at runtime
  • Lightweight workflow for debugging and iteration without building UI panels

I prototyped how a developer console can control a running app. The goal was to test how custom text commands could execute code directly, similar to how you might interact with an engine or game at runtime, without needing dedicated GUI tooling.
