Camera Manager

System Summary

The Camera System controls how the game camera behaves in both Editor Mode (EDIT) and Play Mode (PLAY) using a single Camera2D node.

It supports:

• Free camera movement in editor mode (WASD + edge scrolling + panning)
• Smooth player-follow camera in play mode
• Zoom in/out using mouse wheel or + and - key
• Level boundary clamping based on world size
• State switching through a global game state system

This system replaces multiple camera controllers with a single unified state-based camera.
