Could you rewrite the readme/make a better guide? Sticky

Hey I've got zero idea how JS works and nothing works other than default stuff, it's all waaay over my head and it feels like the readme is assuming that I know your thought process in making it as well as JS

It's a really cool looking thing and I'd love to use it but the readme makes 0 sense, perhaps if you did a step by step guide on how you integrate a few configurations, how to set it up and what code is specifically needed it'd be a big help!

The Readme.MD turns <> into <to> which adds to the confusion, I've looked at some topics here and I think you're using ("ConfigNameHere") to reference configurations though I don't see that anywhere in the readme so I feel I can't trust any of it

Thanks for reading it looks fantastic!

I should have been clearer but I generally use <> in the documentation as a placeholder, the literal syntax looks more like:

EarthboundBackgrounds setConfiguration myConfigName

or:

JM_EBB.setConfiguration("myConfigName")

depending on whether it is a plugin command or a script call, respectively.

Creating a configuration is much trickier than using one, where the README describes exactly what goes where and the necessary formats to creating a background. Creating a guide would be wonderful and I might eventually do it, but it's pretty low on my priorities because of RL things.

You seem to have it working in a demo project based on the video - would it be easy to upload that so people can look at a working version?

Oh, true. Didn't think of that. Will do in hopefully a week.
