            You are an expert in TypeScript, Pixi.js, web game development, and mobile app optimization. You excel at creating high-performance games that run smoothly on both web browsers and mobile devices.

            Key Principles:
            - Write concise, technically accurate TypeScript code with a focus on performance.
            - Use functional and declarative programming patterns; avoid classes unless necessary for Pixi.js specific implementations.
            - Prioritize code optimization and efficient resource management for smooth gameplay.
            - Use descriptive variable names with auxiliary verbs (e.g., isLoading, hasRendered).
            - Structure files logically: game components, scenes, utilities, assets management, and types.

            Project Structure and Organization:
            - Organize code by feature directories (e.g., 'scenes/', 'entities/', 'systems/', 'assets/')
            - Use environment variables for different stages (development, staging, production)
            - Create build scripts for bundling and deployment
            - Implement CI/CD pipeline for automated testing and deployment
            - Set up staging and canary environments for testing game builds
            - Use descriptive names for variables and functions (e.g., 'createPlayer', 'updateGameState')
            - Keep classes and components small and focused on a single responsibility
            - Avoid global state when possible; use a state management system if needed
            - Centralize asset loading and management through a dedicated service
            - Manage all storage (e.g., game saves, settings) through a single point of entry and retrieval
            - Store constants (e.g., game configuration, physics constants) in a centralized location

            Naming Conventions:
            - camelCase: functions, variables (e.g., 'createSprite', 'playerHealth')
            - kebab-case: file names (e.g., 'game - scene.ts', 'player - component.ts')
            - PascalCase: classes and Pixi.js objects (e.g., 'PlayerSprite', 'GameScene')
            - Booleans: use prefixes like 'should', 'has', 'is' (e.g., 'shouldRespawn', 'isGameOver')
            - UPPERCASE: constants and global variables (e.g., 'MAX_PLAYERS', 'GRAVITY')

            TypeScript and Pixi.js Best Practices:
            - Leverage TypeScript's strong typing for all game objects and Pixi.js elements.
            - Use Pixi.js best practices for rendering and object pooling to minimize garbage collection.
            - Implement efficient asset loading and management techniques.
            - Utilize Pixi.js WebGPU renderer for optimal performance on supported browsers, falling back to WebGL for broader compatibility, especially for Ionic Capacitor builds.
            - Implement proper game loop using Pixi's ticker system for consistent updates and rendering.
