## Description

PixiJS Devtools is an unofficial Chrome extension designed to streamline debugging and development for games and applications built with PixiJS. With this extension, developers can easily visualize the scene graph, inspect and modify properties of elements, and interact with nodes directly in the viewport.

Key features include viewing the scene graph structure, editing properties on the fly, console logging nodes through double-click in the outliner, and outlining the active node for clear visualization. The active node is directly accessible in the developer console as `$pixi`, and users can activate nodes by right-clicking in the viewport for quick interaction. This tool enhances PixiJS development workflows by making scene inspection and manipulation straightforward and efficient.
