What problem does it solve?

Top-down movement for FlatRedBall2 enables developers to implement smooth, configurable 2D movement for characters in bird's-eye-view games, handling input, velocity, and facing direction in a reusable way.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Provides TopDownValues for configurable movement parameters (MaxSpeed, AccelerationTime, DecelerationTime, etc.)
• Integrates with TopDownBehavior to apply movement each frame based on input
• Supports directional facing and easy adaptation for AI or player-controlled entities
• Optional JSON config support for designer-tunable values
