Hi everyone,
since I'm currently enhancing the ~~**~~"Frequently Asked Questions"** section on the LITIengine docs pages, I want to invite you to help me out a little:
What questions did you immediately run into when creating your first LITIengine project?
Is there anything every single LITIengine user should know?
I'm looking forward to your suggestions!

I'd say I'm new to the LITIEngine [since I started using it this summer], and as of now the biggest problem I faced was the difficulty to find how to use the most basic functionalities of the engine. For instance, I searched for about 2 hours both in the API and Google just so as to modify the mouse cursor image to a custom one.
The usage of the annotations still remain a bit of mystery [I tried copy-pasting then adapting what was written in the tutorial and it seems to work fine for now, but using what I don't understand is quite a bad practice].
Overall, I believe that what users should know is how to access the basic classes of the engine [searching a bit when we know where to look will then do the trick], and how / why to use the annotations.
The lack of documentation makes this a bit difficult, but the possibility of looking in the source code in order to comprehend how things work don't make this issue a priority. [That, and it is impossible to write a whole documentation out of the blue in one day anyway x)]
Thanks for reading 😁

How did you come up with the name LITIENGINE?
Why is LITI in caps?

Haha, the memories...
If you're interested in how everything evolved, have a look at ~~~~this section of the LITIENGINE website. Quote about the name LITI:
>> To really teach ourselves the basics of video game development, we start writing a 2D stoneage MOBA game from scratch in pure Java instead of using pre-existing libraries / engines.
Based on the ancient greek word for ‘stone‘ - ‘lithos‘, we name the heroes of the game ‘liti‘, a neologism meaning something like ‘the stonies‘ (Don't judge!). The title of our epic prehistoric masterpiece would go down in the annals of history as LITI - Stoneage Brawl.
By the way, we've ditched the exclusive capitalization of LITI and went all caps with the release of 0.5.0, our first beta.

I promise I read the "Our Story" page, but I blame it on poor reading comprehension on my part =)
Thanks for the response.
