When should I use PixiJS instead of the standard Canvas2D API?

Use PixiJS when you need to render thousands of sprites simultaneously or require advanced effects like displacement filters, as PixiJS leverages WebGL/WebGPU for hardware acceleration.

How does the ParticleContainer improve performance?

ParticleContainer is a highly optimized container that limits some sprite features (like complex nesting) to achieve significantly faster rendering speeds for massive amounts of simple sprites.

Can I use this skill to create 3D graphics?

No, this skill is specialized for 2D rendering. For 3D graphics, you should use skills related to Three.js or React Three Fiber.

Does this skill support sprite sheet animations?

Yes, the skill includes implementation patterns for loading JSON-based sprite sheets and managing AnimatedSprite objects for efficient frame-by-frame animation.
