Class DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler

java.lang.Object
de.gurkenlabs.litiengine.DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler
public class DefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler extends Object implements Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler
Handles the uncaught exceptions that might occur while running a game or application with the LITIENGINE.

It provides proper logging of the exception in a crash.txt file in the game's root directory that can be further used to report the issue if it's a generic one.

Depending on the configuration, the default behavior might force the game to exit upon an unexpected exception which can be useful to detect problems in your game early.
