+_An exemple of torchbearer in action, demonstrating both pathfinding and field of view_
+
+`torchbearer` by [@redwarp] is a library that provides a set of tools to find your path in a grid based dungeon. Specifically, it provide a quick implementation of pathfinding and field of view algorithm.
+
+The 0.6.x version rewrites the field of view algorithm to cast vision rays in a bresenham circle around the point of origin. This change from its [original implementation](https://sites.google.com/site/jicenospam/visibilitydetermination) makes it faster as it removes the needs for error correction.
