public class GameCamera

The camera a GameView renders through. It has two modes:

• #MODE_ORTHO_2D (the default) is the classic 2D mode: an orthographic camera mapping one world unit to one screen pixel, origin at the top left with y pointing down. Sprites are flat, positioned in pixels, and the camera scrolls via Scene#setCamera(int, int). You never need to touch GameCamera for a 2D game.

• #MODE_PERSPECTIVE turns the same scene into a 3D world: sprites become camera-facing billboards positioned in 3D space (Sprite#setPosition(double, double, double)), and 3D meshes can be drawn alongside them. You drive the view with #setPerspective(float, float, float), #setPosition(float, float, float) and #setTarget(float, float, float) – e.g. an over-the-shoulder or top-down perspective camera that moves with the player.

// switch a GameView into 3D and place the camera
getCamera()
    .setPerspective(60, 0.1f, 500f)
    .setPosition(0, 6, 12)
    .setTarget(0, 0, 0);

In 3D mode world coordinates are right-handed with y up (the convention the com.codename1.gpu package uses), and sprite sizes are world units rather than pixels – use Sprite#setSize(float, float) or Sprite#setScale(float) to pick a world-space size.
