This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Can this be made to work?

To do: Quote the relevant code/offsets, describe it more, and check if it exists in intermediate versions.

There is code for a debug menu labeled "TENNIS DEBUG MENU" in the main executable. It is stripped as of update v2.3.0 and beyond. Such offsets to list are here:
