Range is the angle of the bisecotor of the [Field of View](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view_in_video_games) of the camera. The FoV of a human is considered 120°, so if you want to make first-person games, use 60° as Range.

**Tip:** if you want to adapt your 2D game to the perspective view, this is the way to do it. (The Size variable defines the amount of blocks you want to fit)
