Camera

The Camera component controls which layers are rendered to the screen. A camera is an entity with a Camera component and a Transform. A scene needs at least one camera, and nothing is drawn unless a camera renders the layer the content is on. See Rendering for an overview.

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`layers`	`string[]`	`["Default"]`	The layers this camera renders, drawn in the order listed.
`zoom`	`number`	`1`	Zoom level.
`depth`	`number`	`0`	With multiple cameras, the lower depth renders first.
`debug`	`boolean`	`false`	Renders debug data when `true`.

Example

import { Transform, Camera } from "angry-pixel";

this.entityManager.createEntity([
    new Transform(),
    new Camera({ layers: ["Default", "UI"], zoom: 1 }),
]);

Multiple cameras can be used together — for example, one for the game world and one for the UI — ordered by their depth.
