 ## How to use LittleJS
 
-To use LittleJS download the latest package from GitHub or call ```npm install littlejsengine```. This package contains the engine and several small examples.

-[You can use the empty example template as a starting point.](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/examples/empty/game.js) This file contains just the minimal setup to start the engine. You can also download and include [littlejs.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/build/littlejs.js) or [littlejs.min.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/build/littlejs.min.js).

-If your game loads any files like images you will need to run a local web server. Some editors can do this automatically like [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) with the [Live Server plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ritwickdey.LiveServer). You can also use [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) via npm.

 ## Builds
 
-To easily include LittleJS in your game, you can use one of the 3 pre-built js files. These are also built automatically by the build scripts.
+To easily include LittleJS in your game, you can use one of the pre-built js files.
 
 - [littlejs.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/build/littlejs.js) - The full game engine with debug mode available
 - [littlejs.release.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/build/littlejs.release.js) - The engine optimized for release builds
 - [littlejs.min.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/build/littlejs.min.js) - The engine in release mode and minified
-
-LittleJS can also be imported as a module. There are two module flavors that are automatically built.
-
 - [littlejs.esm.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/build/littlejs.esm.js) - The engine exported as a module with debug mode available
 - [littlejs.esm.min.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/build/littlejs.esm.min.js) - The engine exported as a minified module in release mode
 
 To rebuild the engine you must first run ```npm install``` to setup the necessary npm dependencies. Then call ```npm run build``` to build the engine.
 
-The starter example project also includes a node js file [build.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/examples/starter/build.js) that compresses everything into a tiny zip file using Google Closure, UglifyJS, and ECT Zip.

-## Engine Source Code
-
-This engine is made with simplicity in mind using clean easy to read code.
-There are only a few core files used by the entire engine.
-
-- [engine.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engine.js) - Top level engine init, update, and render
-- [engineSettings.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineSettings.js) - Global engine settings
-- [engineObject.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineObject.js) - Base object class and physics
-- [engineDraw.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineDraw.js) - Code for canvas drawing and text
-- [engineAudio.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineAudio.js) - Spacial sound effects, and zzfx sound generator
-- [engineInput.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineInput.js) - Input for keyboard, mouse, touch, and gamepad
-- [engineUtilities.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineUtilities.js) - Vector2, Color, and Timer clases and math functions
-
-Optional Components, these components are built to synergize with the rest of the engine but are not required.
-
-- [engineTileLayer.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineTileLayer.js) - Tile layer rendering and collision
-- [engineParticles.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineParticles.js) - Particle system with fast rendering and collision
-- [engineWebGL.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineWebGL.js) - Super fast rendering with WebGL and post processing
-- [engineMedals.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineMedals.js) - Achievement tracker with Newgrounds integration
-- [engineDebug.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineDebug.js) - Debug rendering system and information overlay
-- [engineExport.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineExport.js) - Included when exporting engine as a module
-- [engineBuild.js](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineBuild.js) - Node script used to build the engine

 ## LittleJS Setup
 
-To start LittleJS, you must create 5 functions and pass them to engineInit. A canvas will automatically be created and added to the document.

 ## LittleJS Objects
 
-Though not required, LittleJS is intended to be used as an object oriented system by extending the base class [EngineObject](https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/LittleJS/blob/main/src/engineObject.js) with your own. This lightweight class provides many useful features including physics, collision, parent/child system, and sorted rendering. Engine objects are automatically added to the global list of objects where they will be updated and rendered until destroyed.
