## How do I edit maps?
For `asm` scripts, read [docs/map_scripts.md](docs/map_scripts.md). For `blk` layouts, try [crowdmap](crowdmap) or [Polished Map](polished-map).
+
+
+## How do I write new features?
+
+There are a number of special-purpose scripting languages used for different purposes, as described in [docs](docs/). For more general features, you'll need to code directly in assembly language. See [docs/assembly_language.md](docs/assembly_language.md).
