<h2>Layout customization<a class="headerlink" href="#layout-customization" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Most panels are optional and can be toggled from the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">View</span></code> menu in the
Menubar.</p>
<p>The Console can be shown or hidden quickly with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Ctrl+`</span></code> shortcut. Use
the same shortcut to jump to the Command Bar in the Console.</p>
</section>
<section id="running-the-game">
<h2>Running the game<a class="headerlink" href="#running-the-game" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Press <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">F5</span></code> to play the currently edited level. Crown saves a copy of the
level you are editing and launches it in a separate window. When the level is
running, the Console automatically connects to the game’s runtime and
switches to communicate with it.</p>
<p>To stop the playtest, close the game window or press the Stop Level button on
the Titlebar. If the runtime takes too long to stop, it will be forcibly
terminated. At exit the Console will switch back to communicating with the
editor’s runtime.</p>
<p>To run the full game, choose <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Debug</span> <span class="pre">-&gt;</span> <span class="pre">Run</span> <span class="pre">Game</span></code> from the Menubar. In this
mode Crown launches the game as it would run for an end user.</p>
