2D Game Development

> Principles for 2D game systems.

---

1. Sprite Systems

Sprite Organization

| Component | Purpose | |-----------|---------| | **Atlas** | Combine textures, reduce draw calls | | **Animation** | Frame sequences | | **Pivot** | Rotation/scale origin | | **Layering** | Z-order control |

Animation Principles

  • Frame rate: 8-24 FPS typical
  • Squash and stretch for impact
  • Anticipation before action
  • Follow-through after action

---

2. Tilemap Design

Tile Considerations

| Factor | Recommendation | |--------|----------------| | **Size** | 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 | | **Auto-tiling** | Use for terrain | | **Collision** | Simplified shapes |

Layers

| Layer | Content | |-------|---------| | Background | Non-interactive scenery | | Terrain | Walkable ground | | Props | Interactive objects | | Foreground | Parallax overlay |

---

3. 2D Physics

Collision Shapes

| Shape | Use Case | |-------|----------| | Box | Rectangular objects | | Circle | Balls, rounded | | Capsule | Characters | | Polygon | Complex shapes |

Physics Considerations

  • Pixel-perfect vs physics-based
  • Fixed timestep for consistency
  • Layers for filtering

---

4. Camera Systems

Camera Types

| Type | Use | |------|-----| | **Follow** | Track player | | **Look-ahead** | Anticipate movement | | **Multi-target** | Two-player | | **Room-based** | Metroidvania |

Screen Shake

  • Short duration (50-200ms)
  • Diminishing intensity
  • Use sparingly

---

5. Genre Patterns

Platformer

  • Coyote time (leniency after edge)
  • Jump buffering
  • Variable jump height

Top-down

  • 8-directional or free movement
  • Aim-based or auto-aim
  • Consider rotation or not

---

6. Anti-Patterns

| ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | |----------|-------| | Separate textures | Use atlases | | Complex collision shapes | Simplified collision | | Jittery camera | Smooth following | | Pixel-perfect on physics | Choose one approach |

---

> **Remember:** 2D is about clarity. Every pixel should communicate.

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
  • Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
  • Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
