+// "Brief" explanation of what the hell this is:
+//
+// AOLayer handles all animations both inside and outside
+// the viewport. It was originally devised as a layering
+// system, but turned into a full refactor of the existing
+// animation code. 
+//
+// AOLayer has six subclasses, all of which differ mainly in
+// how they handle path resolution.
+//
+//  - BackgroundLayer: self-explanatory, handles files found in base/background
+//  - CharLayer: handles all the "wonderful" quirks of character path resolution 
+//  - SplashLayer: handles elements that can either be provided by a misc/ directory
+//    or by the theme - speedlines, shouts, WT/CE, et cetera
+//  - EffectLayer: this is basically a dummy layer since effects do their own wonky
+//    path resolution in a different file
+//  - InterfaceLayer: handles UI elements like the chat arrow and the music display
+//  - StickerLayer: Crystalwarrior really wanted this. Handles "stickers," whatever those are.
+//
+// For questions comments or concerns, bother someone else
