Major Timer API improvements:
- Add `stopped` flag to Timer C++ class for proper state management
- Add `start()` method to restart stopped timers (preserves callback)
- Add `stop()` method that removes from engine but preserves callback
- Make `active` property read-write (True=start/resume, False=pause)
- Add `start=True` init parameter to create timers in stopped state
- Add `mcrfpy.timers` module-level collection (tuple of active timers)
- One-shot timers now set stopped=true instead of clearing callback
- Remove deprecated `setTimer()` and `delTimer()` module functions
Timer callbacks now receive (timer, runtime) instead of just (runtime).
Updated all tests to use new Timer API and callback signature.

Changes:
- Default Grid center now positions tile (0,0) at widget's top-left corner
- Added center_camera() method to center grid's middle tile at view center
- Added center_camera((tile_x, tile_y)) to position tile at top-left of widget
- Uses NaN as sentinel to detect if user provided center values in kwargs
- Animation-compatible: center_camera() just sets center property, no special state
Behavior:
- center_camera() → grid's center tile at view center
- center_camera((0, 0)) → tile (0,0) at top-left corner
- center_camera((5, 10)) → tile (5,10) at top-left corner
Before: Grid(size=(320,240)) showed 3/4 of content off-screen (center=0,0)
After: Grid(size=(320,240)) shows tile (0,0) at top-left (center=160,120)

Problem: EntityCollection iterator used index-based access on std::list,
causing O(n) traversal per element access (O(n²) total for iteration).
Root cause: Each call to next() started from begin() and advanced index steps:
std::advance(l_begin, self->index-1); // O(index) for linked list!
Solution:
- Store actual std::list iterators (current, end) instead of index
- Increment iterator directly in next() - O(1) operation
- Cache Entity and Iterator type lookups to avoid repeated dict lookups
Benchmark results (2,000 entities):
- Before: 13.577ms via EntityCollection

GridPoint.entities (#114):

- Enables convenient cell-based entity queries without manual iteration
- Example: grid.at(5, 5).entities → [<Entity>, <Entity>]
GridPointState.point (#16):
- Returns GridPoint if entity has discovered this cell, None otherwise
- Respects entity's perspective: undiscovered cells return None
- Enables entity.at(x,y).point.walkable style access
- Live reference: changes to GridPoint are immediately visible
This provides a simpler solution for #16 without the complexity of
caching stale GridPoint copies. The visible/discovered flags indicate
whether the entity "should" trust the data; Python can implement
memory systems if needed.

Adds a sub-grid system where grids larger than 64x64 cells are automatically
divided into 64x64 chunks, each with its own RenderTexture for incremental
rendering. This significantly improves performance for large grids by:
- Only re-rendering dirty chunks when cells are modified
- Caching rendered chunk textures between frames
- Viewport culling at the chunk level (skip invisible chunks entirely)
Implementation details:
- GridChunk class manages individual 64x64 cell regions with dirty tracking
- ChunkManager organizes chunks and routes cell access appropriately
- UIGrid::at() method transparently routes through chunks for large grids
- UIGrid::render() uses chunk-based blitting for large grids
- Compile-time CHUNK_SIZE (64) and CHUNK_THRESHOLD (64) constants
- Small grids (<= 64x64) continue to use flat storage (no regression)
Benchmark results show ~2x improvement in base layer render time for 100x100
grids (0.45ms -> 0.22ms) due to chunk caching.
Note: Dynamic layers (#147) still use full-grid textures; extending chunk
system to layers is tracked separately as #150.

Implement per-layer dirty tracking and RenderTexture caching for
ColorLayer and TileLayer. Each layer now maintains its own cached
texture and only re-renders when content changes.
Key changes:
- Add dirty flag, cached_texture, and cached_sprite to GridLayer base
- Implement renderToTexture() for both ColorLayer and TileLayer
- Mark layers dirty on: set(), fill(), resize(), texture change
- Viewport changes (center/zoom) just blit cached texture portion
- Fallback to direct rendering if texture creation fails
- Add regression test with performance benchmarks
Expected performance improvement: Static layers render once, then
viewport panning/zooming only requires texture blitting instead of
re-rendering all cells.

Implements ColorLayer and TileLayer classes with z_index ordering:
- ColorLayer: stores RGBA color per cell for overlays, fog of war, etc.
- TileLayer: stores sprite index per cell with optional texture
- z_index < 0: renders below entities
- z_index >= 0: renders above entities
Python API:
- grid.add_layer(type, z_index, texture) - create layer
- grid.remove_layer(layer) - remove layer
- grid.layers - list of layers sorted by z_index
- grid.layer(z_index) - get layer by z_index
- layer.at(x,y) / layer.set(x,y,value) - cell access
- layer.fill(value) - fill entire layer
Layers are allocated separately from UIGridPoint, reducing memory
for grids that don't need all features. Base grid retains walkable/
transparent arrays for TCOD pathfinding.

compute_fov() was iterating through the entire grid to build a Python
list of visible cells, causing O(grid_size) performance instead of
O(radius²). On a 1000×1000 grid this was 15.76ms vs 0.48ms.
The fix returns None instead - users should use is_in_fov() to query
visibility, which is the pattern already used by existing code.
