Shakes the camera by up to ±<code>amount</code> pixels for <code>frames</code> frames; the engine re-rolls the offset each frame and clears it when the time is up. A bigger amount replaces one in flight. <code>Camera.shake(amount: 0)</code> still cancels the offset for the rest of a frame — useful before a HUD pass that must stay steady.

```ludic
# doc-check: skip — illustrative
@On(Damaged) handler Hurt { if target == player { Camera.shake_for(amount: 4, frames: 8) } }
