Trying to render a checkerboard with Bevy

I'm trying to render a checkerboard (or make a grid-based system in general) in Bevy.
I have this component:
#[derive(Debug, Component)]
/// Defines a single grid.
/// As Cell is a term used in R...

Maybe the camera Z position is too low? Maybe you need lights? Not an expert on this method, I've done something similar but using sprites

Thought about the Z-pos but modifying it did not help.

I don't think it's about the lighting or something like that as the sample is not very far from the official sample here: https://bevyengine.org/examples/2D Rendering/2d-shapes/
...which does not try to do anything about lighting at all.

2D Shapes

Bevy is a refreshingly simple data-driven game engine built in Rust. It is free and open-source forever!

#

Now that I think about it, I think it might be about the order of systems. As Bevy runs in parallel, the order of systems are not guaranteed. Let me try that.

#

Nope, app.add_systems(Startup, init_grids.after(paint_grids)); does not work either. Still, though, I think Camera2dBundle might initialize after GridPlugin. Gotta find a way to sequence "first CorePlugin then GridPlugin".
