+##
+## Design Pattern: Factory Method
+## This abstract factory allows the card framework to create cards without
+## knowing the specific implementation details. Different factory types can
+## support various data sources (JSON files, databases, hardcoded data, etc.).
+##
+## Key Responsibilities:
+## - Define card creation interface for consistent behavior
+## - Manage card data caching for performance optimization
+## - Provide card size configuration for uniform scaling
+## - Support preloading mechanisms for reduced runtime I/O
+##
+## Subclass Implementation Requirements:
+## - Override create_card() to implement specific card creation logic
+## - Override preload_card_data() to implement data initialization
+## - Use preloaded_cards dictionary for caching when appropriate
+##
+## Usage:
+## [codeblock]
+## class_name MyCardFactory
+## extends CardFactory
+##
+## func create_card(card_name: String, target: CardContainer) -> Card:

+## Setup Requirements:

+## A draggable object that supports mouse interaction with state-based animation system.
+##
+## This class provides a robust state machine for handling mouse interactions including
+## hover effects, drag operations, and programmatic movement using Tween animations.
+## All interactive cards and objects extend this base class to inherit consistent
+## drag-and-drop behavior.
+##
+## Key Features:
+## - State machine with safe transitions (IDLE → HOVERING → HOLDING → MOVING)
+## - Tween-based animations for smooth hover effects and movement
+## - Mouse interaction handling with proper event management
+## - Z-index management for visual layering during interactions
+## - Extensible design with virtual methods for customization
+##
+## State Transitions:
+## - IDLE: Default state, ready for interaction
+## - HOVERING: Mouse over with visual feedback (scale, rotation, position)
+## - HOLDING: Active drag state following mouse movement
+## - MOVING: Programmatic movement ignoring user input

+## DropZone provides sophisticated drag-and-drop target detection with configurable
+## sensor areas, partitioning systems, and visual debugging capabilities. It integrates
+## with CardContainer to enable precise card placement and reordering operations.
+##
+## Key Features:
+## - Flexible sensor sizing and positioning with dynamic adjustment
+## - Vertical/horizontal partitioning for precise drop targeting
+## - Visual debugging with colored outlines and partition indicators
+## - Mouse detection with global coordinate transformation
+## - Accept type filtering for specific draggable object types
+##
+## Partitioning System:
+## - Vertical partitions: Divide sensor into left-right sections for card ordering
+## - Horizontal partitions: Divide sensor into up-down sections for layered placement
+## - Dynamic outline generation for visual feedback during development
+##

+## A fan-shaped card container that arranges cards in an arc formation.

+## Hand provides sophisticated card layout using mathematical curves to create

+##
+## Key Features:

+## A stacked card container with directional positioning and interaction controls.
+##
+## Pile provides a traditional card stack implementation where cards are arranged
+## in a specific direction with configurable spacing. It supports various interaction
+## modes from full movement to top-card-only access, making it suitable for deck
+## implementations, foundation piles, and discard stacks.
+##
+## Key Features:
+## - Directional stacking (up, down, left, right)
+## - Configurable stack display limits and spacing
+## - Flexible interaction controls (all cards, top only, none)
+## - Dynamic drop zone positioning following top card
+## - Visual depth management with z-index layering
+##
+## Common Use Cases:
+## - Foundation piles in Solitaire games
+## - Draw/discard decks with face-down cards
+## - Tableau piles with partial card access
+##
+## Usage:
+## [codeblock]
+## @onready var deck = $Deck
+## deck.layout = Pile.PileDirection.DOWN
+## deck.card_face_up = false
+## deck.restrict_to_top_card = true
+## [/codeblock]
