## What it is
Psych Engine is a Haxe-based engine for Friday Night Funkin', originally built for the Mind Games mod. It fixes vanilla issues, adds mod support via Lua/HScript softcoding, and targets beginner-friendly customization.

## Use cases
- create a friday night funkin mod without touching source code
- write custom fnf weeks using lua scripts
- fix bugs from vanilla friday night funkin engine
- add custom cutscenes and dialogue to an fnf mod
- learn game modding with an easy scripting engine
- organize and toggle multiple fnf mods

## When to choose
- you want to make an FNF mod with Lua softcoding instead of recompiling Haxe
- you need a beginner-friendly alternative to the vanilla FNF engine
- you want built-in mod menus, dialogue boxes, and chart editor improvements

## When to avoid
- you are building a game unrelated to Friday Night Funkin'
- you need a general-purpose Haxe game framework like HaxeFlixel directly
- you require a fully source-compiled workflow with no scripting layer
