Why is it important to normalize map coordinates when checking for point collisions?

Why does importing map data from editors into games sometimes require flipping the Y value?

If a map created in an editor (origin at top-left) is imported into a game without flipping the Y-axis, how will the map's elements be oriented?

In the context of map data import, what remains unaffected by flipping the Y value?

What is the primary difference between the coordinate system used in most game engines and that used in map editors, as described?

When importing a map from an editor to a game, which step is crucial to ensure correct visual representation if the editor's Y-axis increases downwards?

Suppose a map element is located at coordinates (2, 3) in a map editor where the origin is at the top-left. After importing this map into a game without flipping the Y-axis, where might this element visually appear, assuming a 5x5 map?

What is the primary reason game developers might choose to use an external map editor despite potential coordinate system differences?

Which of the following best describes the role of 'hot spots' in sprite collision detection?

In the context of hot spots, what does 'updating the collision flag by setting the corresponding bit to 1' signify?

If a sprite's hotspot is located at its center, and that center point collides with a solid object in the BinaryCollision array, what is the immediate next step?

Imagine you're implementing a game with multiple interactive objects. How would using hot spots for collision detection improve the game's performance compared to pixel-perfect collision?

Given a sprite with hot spots defined at relative offsets (0.25, 0.25), (0.25, 0.75), (0.75, 0.25), and (0.75, 0.75) from its top-left corner, which of these hot spots would be closest to the bottom-right corner of the sprite?

In the provided map data, if '1' represents a wall and '0' represents an empty space, what does the value '4' most likely represent?

Consider a scenario where a level designer modifies the map in the editor but forgets to flip the Y-axis on export. What is the most likely consequence in the game?

A game development team chooses to flip the map data during import (Method #3). What advantage does this approach offer over modifying the data directly in the editor?

If the map dimensions are defined as Width 20 and Height 20, how many total data points are expected in the exported map data file?

While importing a map, a developer accidentally applies a horizontal flip instead of a vertical flip. How will this error manifest in the game?

A game level is designed with specific 'hot spots' triggered by the player's location. How does the correct handling (flipping) of map data contribute to ensuring these triggers function as intended?
