The bug

A bug caused the horizontal scrolling to get stuck because I ran math.floor() on the camera's X position to keep it aligned to the grid (i.e. pixel-perfect).

The bug will occur at certain FPS rates only. Vsync is enabled for the game, which is why it only happens to a few players depending on their monitor's FPS.

To fix this issue, I refactored it to an "accumulator" approach, where I keep the exact X with decimals, and then floor that instead.
