Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00020 | $0.00667 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00333 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00133 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00067 |
Grade A, and why
2d-games scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
83% identical to 2d-games — 9 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

2D Game Development
Principles for 2D game systems.
1. Sprite Systems
Sprite Organization
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Atlas | Combine textures, reduce draw calls |
| Animation | Frame sequences |
| Pivot | Rotation/scale origin |
| Layering | Z-order control |
Animation Principles
- Frame rate: 8-24 FPS typical
- Squash and stretch for impact
- Anticipation before action
- Follow-through after action
2. Tilemap Design
Tile Considerations
| Factor | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Size | 16x16, 32x32, 64x64 |
| Auto-tiling | Use for terrain |
| Collision | Simplified shapes |
Layers
| Layer | Content |
|---|---|
| Background | Non-interactive scenery |
| Terrain | Walkable ground |
| Props | Interactive objects |
| Foreground | Parallax overlay |
3. 2D Physics
Collision Shapes
| Shape | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Box | Rectangular objects |
| Circle | Balls, rounded |
| Capsule | Characters |
| Polygon | Complex shapes |
Physics Considerations
- Pixel-perfect vs physics-based
- Fixed timestep for consistency
- Layers for filtering
4. Camera Systems
Camera Types
| Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Follow | Track player |
| Look-ahead | Anticipate movement |
| Multi-target | Two-player |
| Room-based | Metroidvania |
Screen Shake
- Short duration (50-200ms)
- Diminishing intensity
- Use sparingly
5. Genre Patterns
Platformer
- Coyote time (leniency after edge)
- Jump buffering
- Variable jump height
Top-down
- 8-directional or free movement
- Aim-based or auto-aim
- Consider rotation or not
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 9d ago First seen · 127 lines · 20 tokens per session scan A eed5a3c1b7f7
2d-games is a skill published in the GitHub repository DDS-Solutions/AI-TadPole-OS (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 667 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 83% identical to 2d-games, differing in 9 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
airjam-mcp
Use when operating an Air Jam project through its first-party MCP tools for inspection, development, semantic game sessions, logs, quality gates, and releases.
controller-ui
Use when building or reviewing Air Jam controller surfaces so touch controls stay simple, readable, and game-appropriate instead of drifting into dense web-app UI patterns.
host-surface
Use when building or reviewing the Air Jam host shell so the active game surface stays full-frame, overlays stay modular, and host UI does not interfere with gameplay layout.
game-architecture
Use when creating or refactoring gameplay code in an Air Jam project and you need guidance on host vs controller vs domain boundaries, modular structure, and when to refactor before implementing.
prefab-authoring
Use when creating reusable gameplay objects or scene presets so prefabs stay declarative, configurable, and ready for future tooling such as previews and scanned catalogs.
r3f-3d-scene
Use when building or reviewing a 3D Air Jam game with React Three Fiber so scene structure, lighting, shadows, grounding, particles, and physics stay deliberate instead of becoming ad hoc Three.js chaos.
