-# The How And Why
-## Third Party Libraries
-
-This engine uses a few third party libraries which solve a great deal of problems:
-
-- [30log](https://github.com/Yonaba/30log) for class definition
-- [STI](https://github.com/karai17/Simple-Tiled-Implementation) for the tiled maps
-- [Hardon Collider](http://vrld.github.io/HardonCollider/) for the collision handling
-- [anim8](https://github.com/kikito/anim8) for animations
-
-Thanks to all the creators of these!
-
-## Characters
-
-Each object defined in the 'character' layer of the map must have a character definition in the 'characters' folder.
-The file is named like the name of the object.
-For example an object named matty has a file 'characters/matty.lua'.
-
-In this file all the other properties are defined.
-
-And to clarify: a player is just a character with relevant keys attached to it.
-
-## Controllers
-
-Defines the movement of a character. Each character has its own instance.
-It must implement at least the following functions:
-
-- sendKey(key)
-  - send a keypress to the controller which then decides if it takes action
-- stopAnimation()
-  - stops a running character animation
-
-and the following properties:
-
-- charinfo
-  - an instance of a character file
-- animation
-  - the active animation
-
-Apart from those the controller works how it sees fit.
