 # Traffic simulator
 
-For a scientific paper I will have to write in school, I am writing a traffic simulator, because I want to learn something new.
+For school, I have to write a (pseudo-) scientific paper with the theme 'everyday physics'. I chose to focus on the topic of urban interchanges and the effects different variables might have on their effectivenes. Because a
+traditional experiment would be far too expensive / much work, I created this simulation to do my research.
 
-For now, I can edit the road network and there are even cars driving around from spawn points to different exits.
+This project was made using the unity game engine to simplify its visualization.

+### From the unity editor
+
+There are a number of buttons on the UI to edit the current `road network` with the pencil allowing you to create roads, the trashcan allows you to remove them and the traffic light is used to set up traffic lights in the
+simulation. There are also buttons to quickly save and load road networks as well as a `photograph mode` which lets you view the roads from directly above.

+### From the command line
