Documentation

The LITIENGINE documentation pages containing in-depth guides for LITIengine are currently in deployment. We're looking forward to your contributions!

⚠️ We are aware that there is currently a lack of documentation, but we're planning to document the most important parts of the library and use-cases with the first beta release to ensure that features don't get deprecated before they're even used.

If you are searching for a particular method or class within the API or just want to further explore the engine's possiblities, the Javadocs are a good place to start.
