What coordinate system convention does it use?

It follows a Y-up, right-handed, -Z forward coordinate convention, ensuring consistent orientation for yaw, pitch, and camera look-at functions.

What rendering engine is this skill optimized for?

The skill is specifically designed for the ZX engine, utilizing its unique FFI calls for camera control, stencil passes, and billboard rendering.

Can I use this for both 2D and 3D projects?

Yes, the skill provides specific guidance on 2D vs 3D decision-making, including screen space versus world space coordinate management.

Does it support custom typography?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for loading texture-based pixel fonts and binding them for efficient text rendering within the render loop.

How does this skill handle camera state?

It implements camera state using static variables to ensure rollback safety, which is critical for maintaining consistency in game state management.
