- * Engine Features
- * - Object oriented system with EngineObject base class
- * - Automatic object lifecycle (update, physics, collision, rendering)
- * - Engine helper classes: Vector2, Color, Timer, RandomGenerator
- * - Hybrid rendering with WebGL batching and Canvas2D fallback
- * - Audio system with wave, mp3, or ZzFX sound effects
- * - Input system with keyboard, mouse, gamepad, and touch support
- * - Tile layer rendering and collision detection
- * - Particle effect system with emitters
- * - Medal/achievement system with local storage
- * - Comprehensive debug tools and visualizations
- * - Fixed 60 FPS timestep with configurable time scale
- * - Raycast and spatial query utilities
- * - Plugin system for extending engine functionality
- * - Start with engineInit() and provide your game callbacks
