 # Toy
 
-This is the Toy programming language interpreter, written in C.
+The Toy programming language is an imperative bytecode-intermediate embedded scripting language. It isn't intended to operate on its own, but rather as part of another program, the "host". This process is intended to allow a decent amount of easy customisation by the host's end user, by exposing logic in script files. Alternatively, binary files in a custom format can be used as well.
 
-Special thanks to http://craftinginterpreters.com/ for their fantastic book that set me on this path.
+The host will provide all of the extensions needed on a case-by-case basis. Script files have the `.toy` file extension, while binary files have the `.tb` file extension.

+# drive_system.h
+
+When accessing the file system through Toy (such as with the runner library), it's best practice to utilize the drive system - this system (tries to) prevent malicious accessing of files outside of the designated folders. It does this by causing an error when a script tries to access a parent directory.
+
+To use the drive system, first you must designate specific folders which can be accessed, like so:
+
+```c
+#include "drive_system.h"
+
+int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
+	//the drive system uses a LiteralDictionary, which must be initialized with this
+	Toy_initDriveSystem();
+
+	Toy_setDrivePath("scripts", "assets/scripts");
+	Toy_setDrivePath("sprites", "assets/sprites");
+	Toy_setDrivePath("fonts", "assets/fonts");
+
+	//TODO: do you stuff here
+
+	//clean up the drive dictionary when you're done
+	Toy_freeDriveSystem();
+
+	return 0;
+}
+```
+
+This utility is intended mainly for libraries to use - as such, the core of Toy does not utilize it.
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+The drive system uses a Toy's Dictionary structure to store the mappings between keys and values - this dictionary object is a static global which persists for the lifetime of the program.

+# toy_interpreter.h
+
+This header defines the interpreter structure, which is the beating heart of Toy.
+
+`Toy_Interpreter` is a stack-based, bytecode-driven interpreter with a number of customisation options, including "hooks"; native C functions wrapped in `Toy_Literal` instances, injected into the interpreter in order to give the Toy scripts access to libraries via the `import` keyword. The hooks, when invoked this way, can then inject further native functions into the interpreter's current scope. Exactly which hooks are made available varies by host program, but `standard` is the most commonly included one.
+
+Another useful customisation feature is the ability to redicrect output from the `print` and `assert` keywords, as well as any internal errors that occur. This can allow you to add in a logging system, or even hook the `print` statement up to some kind of HUD.
+
+## Defined Interfaces
+
+Note: These interfaces are *actually* defined in [toy_literal.h](toy_literal_h.md) but are documented here, because this is where it matters most.
+
+### typedef void (*Toy_PrintFn)(const char*)
+
+This is the interface used by "print functions" - that is, functions used to print messages from the `print` and `assert` keywords, as well as internal interpreter errors.
+
+### typedef int (*Toy_NativeFn)(struct Toy_Interpreter* interpreter, struct Toy_LiteralArray* arguments)
+
+This is the interface used by "native functions" - that is, functions written in C which can be called directly by Toy scripts.
+
+The arguments to the function are passed in as a `Toy_LiteralArray`.
+
+### typedef int (*Toy_HookFn)(struct Toy_Interpreter* interpreter, struct Toy_Literal identifier, struct Toy_Literal alias)
+
+This is the interface used by "hook functions" - that is, functions written in C which are invoked by using the `import` keyword, and are intended to inject other native functions into the current scope. While hook functions are capable of doing other things, this is greatly discouraged.
+
+The identifier of the library (its name) is passed in as a `Toy_Literal`, as is any given alias; if no alias is given, then `alias` will be a null literal. Here, the identifier is `standard`, while the alias is `std`.
+
+```
+import standard as std;
+```
+
+Conventionally, when an alias is given, all of the functions should instead be inserted into a `Toy_LiteralDictionary` which is then inserted into the scope with the alias as its identifier.

+/*!
+# Handy-Dandy *MECHA* Docs!
+
+The following is the source code for MECHA - a tool for reading in source code, and splicing out the markdown embedded within. It can also spit out chunks of code, though that's a bit uglier.
+
+In theory, this should work correctly on all languages that conform to C-style comments, including Toy.
+
+To build it, simply run `g++ -o mecha mecha.cpp`.
+
+To run the result, you must pass in a series of filenames via the command line.
+
+## License
+
+This tool is considered part of Toy's toolchain, so Toy's zlib license should cover it.
+
+## Header Files
+
+If you're reading this as a comment in the source code, this is what I mean by ugly. Thankfully, this section is outputted correctly in markdown.
