+## Pieces
+
+If you don't know what a polyomino is, check [this other file](Pieces_representation.md#what-are-polyominoes).
+
+Generating polyominoes of size n is exponential in regard to n. Because of this, we will store the pieces beforehand and load them upon launching the game.
+
+We want the pieces to be always sorted in the same order, always attributed the same block type, and always set at the same spawn position, no matter how they were generated. We also want them to be separated in 3 categories : convex, not convex but without a hole, and with a hole. Theses problematics are already resolved internally, but will be calculated before storage as to not need extra calculcations upon load (except for the block type which is trivially computed).
+
+Pieces are stored in binary files. Each file simply contains every polyomino of one size, one after the other. Since each file contains all polyominoes of the same size, we know how much stuff to read and don't need delimiters. We know we've read all pieces simply when we reach the end of file character.
+
+Each piece is stored as follows:
+- 1 byte for the characteristics of the piece: ``ABCCCCCC`` where A indicates if the piece is convex, B indicates if it has a hole, and C is the length of the piece
+- 1 byte for each position: ``XXXXYYYY`` where X is the x coordinate of the position and Y is the y coordinate of the position
+
+The current implementation only allows to generate polyominoes up to size 16, but can be upgraded by storing coordinates on 8 bits instead of 4.  
+It has been currently choosen to use pieces only up to size 15 for this game.
+
+## Config
+
+When compiling a release version, default files will be used, theses will then be impacted by the user and used for their next sessions.
+
+### Keybinds
+
+The games has 4 keyboard configs by default that never changes, and a modifiable 5th one, but theses are all stored the same.
+
+Each keybinds files has the the following format:
+
+- The number of the action (converted from an Enum), stored with 1 byte
+- The number of each binded keys (also converted from an Enum), stored with 1 byte
+- A separator characters which is 0xFF
+
+_Repeat for every avaible actions._
+
+### Settings
+
+The settings file has the following format:
+
+- The number of the chosen keybinds (from 0 to 4), stored with 1 byte
+- The size multiplier of the window, stored with 1 byte
+- The number of the last selected gamemode (converted from an Enum), stored with 1 byte
+- The last selected width of the board, stored with 1 byte

 Each frame, the UI will translate the user's input into a series of action to apply to the game. The list of action is the following:
 
+- Quit the game
 - Pause
 - Retry
 - Hold
 - Move left
 - Move right
+- Rotate 0°
 - Rotate clockwise (CW)
 - Rotate 180°
 - Rotate counter-clockwise (CCW)

 Finally, gravity and lock delay are applied last.  
 Moving and soft dropping can be held but hard dropping, holding and rotating needs to be released and pressed again to happen.
 
+Menu navigation is managed by the UI and uses static keybinds to prevent the user from softlocking themselves.
+
+## ARR and DAS
+
+The sidewise movement of the piece is defined by two parameters: DAS and ARR.  
+**DAS** stands for Delayed Auto Shift and **ARR** for Auto Repeat Rate.
+Theses can be changed by the player.
+The parameters will be refered to as DAS and ARR, while the in-game values will be refered to as the piece's DAS ans ARR.
+
+- Initially, both the piece DAS and piece ARR are at 0. When moving the piece in one direction,
+the piece will move one position and then wait for the player to hold that direction as long as the DAS value.  
+_So for exemple if DAS is set to 20, on the first frame piece DAS will be set to 1 and the piece will move once.
+The next movement will be delayed by 20 frames, so the piece will move again 20 frames later, on the 21th frame, or when the piece DAS = (DAS +1)._
+- Then, if the player still holds the same direction, ARR takes on.
+The piece will move every ARR frames.  
+_So in our exemple if ARR is set to 5, this means the piece will move every 5 frames after the 21th frame.
+So on the 21th frame piece DAS = 21 and piece ARR = 0.
+On the 26th frame, piece ARR = 5 so the piece moves and piece ARR is set back to 0._
+
+Now DAS can be buffered, that is if a direction is held before the piece spawn, it will have an initial DAS value corresponding to the number of frames held.  
+_So in our example where DAS = 20 and ARR = 5, if we held a direction during 30f then hold without releasing this direction, the piece will move instantly on the frame it spawns.
+Then, ARR will start counting on the next frame. So the piece will move on frames 1, 6, 11, etc._
+
+When trying to hold two directions at the same time, only the direction held last will be applied.
+So for example if you were holding left and you suddendly start holding the two directions at the same time, the piece will go right.  
+In the two directions are first pressed at the same frame, left will take priority.

 If either holding or rotating happens during frames where no piece is in the board, they will be memorized and immediately applied upon spawning the next piece. This can sometime prevent the player from loosing when the default spawn would have lost the game. This is called IRS and IHS, for Instant Rotation/Hold System.

 A common mechanic of stacker games is kicking. This happen when rotating a piece makes it collide with a wall. The game will try to move the piece in a few predetermined spot close to the current position until one of them allow the piece to not be in a wall again. If no positions allow for that, the rotation is simply cancelled.
 
-This concept works very well for games with up to tetrominos or pentominos, but when using polyominos of any size we can't choose a few predetermined spots for each piece.
+This concept works very well for games with up to tetrominos or pentominos, but when using polyominoes of any size we can't choose a few predetermined spots for each piece.
 
 Since this game uses polyomino of high sizes which are very unplayable, we will try to be complaisant to the player and allow as much kicking spots as possible, while trying not to make him feel like the piece is going through walls. To solve this problem, this game introduce a new Rotation System called **AutoRS**, which does not have a predetermined list of spots to fit the piece but instead adapt to its shape. Its algorithm goes as follow:
 
-1. Before rotating, mark every cell containing the piece or touching the piece, we will call the set of all theses cells the ``safeCells``
+1. Before rotating, mark every position containing the piece or touching the piece, we will call the set of all theses positions the ``safePositions``
 2. Rotate the piece, if it fit stop the algorithm
-3. Try fitting the piece, going from the center to the sides, that means we try to move the piece 1 cell right, then 1 cell left, then 2 cell right, etc. until it fit (and then stop the algorithm), if at one point a position doesn't touch one of the ``safeCells`` we stop trying in this direction

+4. Move the piece one line down, and repeat step 3 again, until we hit a line were the first position (shifted by 0 positions horizontally) touched none of the ``safePositions``
 5. Do the same as step 4 but now we move the piece one line up every time
 6. Cancel the rotation
 
+Kicking is primarly designed for rotating, but it is also applied when a piece spawns into a wall.  
+0° rotations will first try to move the piece one position down, and if it can't try kicking the piece, only registering a kick if the piece couldn't move down.

 ## Detecting spins
 
-Another common mechanic of stacker games that goes alongside kicking is spinning. A spin is a special move (a move is calculated once a piece has been locked to the board) which usually happen when the last move a piece did was a kick or a rotation and the piece is locked in place, but the rules varies a lot from game to game.

 - A move is a _mini spin_ if the move isn't a spin and the last action of the piece was a kick (dropping down because of gravity counts as an action)

-- For every cell soft dropped, add 1 to the score

 - If the line clear is a spin, count the score like a normal clear of 2x more line (200 for 1-line spin, 800 for 2, 3200 for 3, etc.)
 - When performing a spin, a mini spin, or clearing 4 or more lines, B2B is activated, every subsequent line clear that is a spin, a mini spin, or clear 4 or more lines, scores twice as much

 - Clockwise (CW) rotation : ``x, y = y, (length - 1) - x``
 - 180° rotation : ``x, y = (length - 1) - x, (length - 1) - y``
 - Counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation : ``x, y = (length - 1) - y, x``

-Generating polyominos of size n is exponential in regard to n. Because of this, we will store the pieces beforehand and load them upon launching the game.
-
-We want the pieces to be always sorted in the same order, always attributed the same color, and always set at the same spawn position, no matter how they were generated. We also want them to be separated in 3 categories : convex, not convex but wihtout a hole, and with a hole. Theses problematics are already resolved internally, but will be calculated before storage as to not need extra calculcations upon load.
-
-## How is it stored
-
-Pieces are stored in binary files. Each file simply contains every polyomino of one size, one after the other. Since each file contains all polyominos of the same size, we know how much stuff to read and don't need delimiters. We know we've read all pieces simply when we reach the end of file character.
-
-Each piece is stored as follows:
-- 1 byte for the length of the piece
-- 1 byte for the other characteristics of the piece: ``ABCCCCCC`` where A indicates if the piece is convex, B indicates if it has a hole, and C is the color number of the piece
-- 1 byte for each cell: ``XXXXYYYY`` where X is the x coordinate of the cell and Y is the y coordinate of the cell
-
-The current implementation only allows to generate polyominos up to size 16, but can be upgraded by storing coordinates on 8 bits instead of 4. It has been choosen to use pieces only up to size 15 for this game.
