• Seamless Room Transitions: Manage loading and unloading of game areas smoothly.
• Map Systems: Develop functional in-game maps that reveal as the player explores.
• Use Case: Develop an action-adventure platformer where players acquire new movement abilities (like a double jump or dash) to access previously unreachable areas of a large, interconnected map.
