  "_art": "texture/frameWidth/frameHeight/frame = the spritesheet (frame 0 = the starter ship, 256×256 frames; the ship is drawn centered in its frame and rotates about that center). artFacing = the direction the art points in its frame — the code applies a constant render offset so heading math stays identical. If the sheet is missing, the built-in procedural dart is drawn instead (it faces east). size = hull length in world px (also its collision 'diameter'); scale multiplies it (1 = as designed).",
