 ## ScaleEffect
 
+Applied to `PositionComponent`s, this effect can be used to change the scale with which the
+component and its children is rendered on the canvas with, using an
+[animation curve](https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/animation/Curves-class.html).
+
+This also affects the `scaledSize` property of the component.
+
+The speed is measured in percentage/100 per second, and remember that you can give `duration` as an
+argument instead of `speed`.

+Usage example:
+```dart
+import 'package:flame/effects.dart';
+
+// Square is a PositionComponent
+square.addEffect(ScaleEffect(
+  scale: Vector2.all(2.0),
+  speed: 1.0,
