-## INTRODUCTION [1.1]
+## INTRODUCTION
 
 this is a library for using hexagonal grids in amulet/lua.
 it is extremely incomplete. the following list of features is 
 either implemented shoddily, or not at all.

-## COORDINATE SYSTEMS [1.3]

-as much coordinate manipulation as possible is done internally.
-depending on the task, uses either Axial, Cube, or Doubled coordinates.
+1) initialize a map.
+2) iterate over the map and draw some hexagons. 
 
-three different ways of returning and sending coordinates:
-    
-* amulet vectors
-* lua tables
-* individual coordinate numbers
+## COORDINATE SYSTEMS
     
-so you can use what your graphics library likes best!
+As much coordinate manipulation as possible is done internally.
+Depending on the task, uses either Axial, Cube, or Offset coordinates.

+## MAPS & MAP STORAGE
     
 Some map shapes: parallelogram, rectangular, hexagonal, triangular. (and more)
-    
 The storage system used is based on the map shape - see chart:

+By default, the unordered, hash-like maps have pseudo-random noise stored 
+as their values. This can be useful for a whole bunch of things, but if you 
+wish, you can simply iterate over your map and set every value to 'true'.

+If you have read amit's guide to hexagon grids, (see TODO LINK), a lot of the 
 terminology will be familiar to you - I utilize many conventions he does in
 his guide. That being said...
 
-Because so many different kinds of coordinate groupings are used in this library,
-and they are all fundamentally tables/vectors/arrays of integers, it can be hard
-to remember what they are all referring to. 
+Because so many similar kinds of data structures with different goals are used 
+in this library it can be hard to remember precisely what they all refer to. 
 
 The following table shows what each table/vector/array refers to in the code:
 
-| NAME |                       REFERS TO                            |  
-| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
-| cube | xyz, used for most maps, with constraint x+y+z=0. **       |
-| pix  | xy, true screen pixel coordinates                          |
-| dbl  | xy, 'doubled', used for rectangular maps                   |
-| off  | xy, 'offset', used for UI implementations                  |
-| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
-| map  | xy, table of unit hexagon centerpoints arranged in a shape |
-
-    ** note that 'axial' coordinates are a subset of cube coordinates, where
-    you simply omit the z value. for many algorithms this is done, but instead
-    of using some reference name 'axial', I just used the name 'cube' for both 
-    cases. I found this to be clearer and less prone to end-user error. when
-    an algorithm asks for a cube, give it a cube. if you want to know if it works
-    with axial as well, look at the code and see if it uses a 'z' value.
+| NAME |                       REFERS TO                              |

+| map  | xy, *table* of unit hexagon centerpoints arranged in a shape |
+
+    * note that 'axial', vec2() coordinates are a subset of cube coordinates, 
+    where you simply omit the z value. for many algorithms this is done, but 
+    instead of using a seperate reference name 'axial' in these cases, I used
