 camera.lua
 ----------
 _Depends on vector.lua_
 
-**TODO**
+Camera class to display only a certain zoomed and rotated region of the game.
+You can have multiple cameras in one game.
+
+**function Camera(pos, zoom, rotation)**<br />
+Create a new camera with position `pos`, zoom `zoom` and rotation `rotation`.
+**Parameters:**
+
+*   _(optional)_ `pos` **[vector]**: Initial position of the camera. Defaults to (0,0).
+*   _(optional)_ `zoom` **[number]**: Initial zoom. Defaults to 1.
+*   _(optional)_ `rotation` **[number]**: Initial rotation in radians. Defaults to 0.
+
+**Returns:** The new camera object.
+
+
+**function camera:rotate(phi)**<br />
+Rotate camera by `phi` radians. Same as `camera.rot = camera.rot + phi`.
+
+
+**function camera:translate(t)**<br />
+Translate (move) camera by vector `t`. Same as `camera.pos = camera.pos + t.
+
+**function camera:draw(func)**<br />
+Apply camera transformation to drawings in function `func`. Shortcut to
+`camera:apply()` and `camera:deapply()` (see below).
+
+*Example:*
+
+	cam:draw(function() love.graphics.rectangle('fill', -100,-100, 200,200) end)
+
+
+**function camera:apply()**<br />
+Apply camera transformations to every drawing operation until the next `camera:deapply()`.
+
+
+**function camera:deapply()**<br />
+Revert camera transformations for the rest of the drawing operations.
+
+*Example:* (equivalent to the `cam:draw()` example above)
+
+	camera:apply()
+	love.graphics.rectangle('fill', -100,-100, 200,200)
+	camera:deapply()
+
+
+**function camera:transform(p)**<br />
+Transform vector `p` from camera coordinates to world coordinates.
+You probably won't need this, but it is the basis to `camera:mousepos()`.
+
+
+**function camera:mousepos()**<br />
+Get mouse position in world coordinates, i.e. the position the users mouse
+is currently when camera transformations are applied. Use this for _any_
+mouse interaction with transformed objects in your game.
