This chapter is where the game starts to feel interactive, not just animated. It combines scene layering, enemy spawn loops, and attack-window logic to establish the core combat rhythm.

• How to add and layer a dedicated enemy canvas over the existing game scene
• A state machine approach for enemy rise, idle, and death animation phases
• Spawn-loop patterns to control pacing and cap active enemies
• Collision and hurtbox timing tied to specific Hydra attack frames
