Cameras & Viewport Effects

FlxCamera controls scrolling, target tracking with deadzones, zoom, screen shakes, flashes, and fades.

---

1. Tracking the Player

// Follow target with platformer deadzone style
this.camera.follow(this.player, 'PLATFORMER', 0.1);

// Set camera scroll boundaries (prevent scrolling outside level)
this.camera.setBounds(0, 0, 2000, 1000);

Camera Follow Styles

• 'LOCKON': Strict center lock.
• 'PLATFORMER': Horizontal deadzone with upper/lower lead.
• 'TOPDOWN': Box deadzone centered on target.
• 'NO_DEAD_ZONE': Smooth linear interpolation directly to target coordinates.

2. Camera FX (Shake, Flash, Fade)

// Screen shake (intensity, duration, direction)
this.camera.shake(0.015, 0.35);

// White flash (color, duration)
this.camera.flash(0xffffff, 0.2);

// Fade to black on death
this.camera.fade(0x000000, 1.0, false, () => {
  this.restartState();
});
