Can you provide the extension please ?
(edit) and an example project

[TheGemDev]

Project - Draw Grid.zip

Extension -
Draw Grid Extension.zip

So it's a great idea but there are a few things to fix I think before this gets published

1. Performance
   Performance is really bad because of how you draw the cells (using a loop)
   At least you should warn people that it's gonna take a long time to render for fine-grain loops
2. Coloring
   I think it would also be great to explain how to change the color of the grid for example in the description of the extension, the action or in a help page

Other than that it looks great :)

The issue is not the loop. It's the instance creation.

This example has events that draw a grid:

fixed the performance and added a way to change colors in the action. Also, if no instance of the shape painter object exists, the action creates one.

What happens when the camera is moved?
Can extension users use the grid to debug path finding of a game with scrolling?
What do you think about making a behavior that updates the grid when needed?
