Foundations: JRPG Architecture and Core Engine

Analyze the architecture of RPG Maker, focusing on its database (JSON), event system, and plugin structure.

Compare the data-driven architecture of RPG Maker to common front-end frameworks and custom game engines.

Design the architecture for a simple game engine, including a game loop, scene manager, and rendering pipeline.

Implement a game loop using requestAnimationFrame, managing state updates and rendering with delta time.

Implement a canvas rendering system for drawing sprites from a tileset and spritesheet.

Implement a basic asset manager for preloading images and data files.

Implement frame-based sprite animation with timing and directional state.
