Pixijs Core Concepts

If you're building anything with PixiJS v8, you'll eventually need to understand what happens between your scene graph changes and pixels on screen. This walks you through the renderer architecture (systems and pipes), how autoDetectRenderer picks between WebGPU, WebGL, and Canvas, and when the render loop actually fires. The decision guide is solid: it covers Web Workers, manual rendering control, and CSP constraints without hand-waving. The common mistakes section will save you from the async init() trap and the preference-isn't-a-guarantee gotcha. Pairs with the application and ticker skills for the full startup picture.
