+## Architecture
+
+It is not too soon to start thinking about how to organize a game! Through this project, we will be creating a project architecture that is good for small to mid-sized games.
+
+Creating a predictable architecture is about making a 'separation of concerns' in your code. Our architecture will be broken up into three concerns.
+
+1. Game Controller
+This tier keeps track of all data and logic rules.
+2. SceneManager
+The scene manager keeps track of everything that is on the screen at any given time.
+3. View
+This tier is where all of our game assets (in Godot "scenes" and "nodes") are kept.
