 Flame has some dedicated classes to help you render text.

-A Text Config contains all typographical information required to render text; i.e., font size and

+`TextRenderer` is the abstract class used by Flame to render text. Flame provides one
+implementation for this called `TextPaint` but anyone can implement this abstraction
+and create a custom way to render text.

+## TextPaint
+
+A Text Paint is the built in implementation of text rendering on Flame, it is based on top of
+Flutter's `TextPainter` class (hence the name), it can be configured by its config class
+`TextPaintConfig` which contains all typographical information required to render text; i.e., font
+size and color, family, etc.
 
 Example usage:
 
 ```dart
-const TextConfig config = TextConfig(fontSize: 48.0, fontFamily: 'Awesome Font');
+const TextPaint textPaint = TextPaint(
+  config: TextPaintConfig(
+    fontSize: 48.0,

+After the creation of the text paint you can use its `render` method to draw some string on a canvas:
 
 ```dart
-config.render(canvas, "Flame is awesome", Position(10, 10));
+textPaint.render(canvas, "Flame is awesome", Vector2(10, 10));
 ```
 
 If you want to set the anchor of the text you can also do that in the render call, with the optional
 `anchor` parameter:
 
 ```dart
-config.render(canvas, 'Flame is awesome', Vector2(10, 10), anchor: Anchor.topCenter);
