Add concept summary to README

Is this a fishy scene in the deep ocean, replete with seaweed and sunken wrecks? Mer-people?
Great choice.

That's the hope @premasagar! Sadly nobody's got any time to work on it at the moment though, so we'll have to see how far we get

[premasagar]

Oh shame. Well, if it does go ahead, then I will join remotely from Portugal with my children.

[larister]

Amazing! Yes it will go ahead, it's just a case of how far we get with it - it might start with just a blank canvas!!

[premasagar]

Super. A suggestion. After the blank canvas, a good next step would be to provide a "tick" event to each creature, say, with the number of milliseconds since the world started. This allows animations to remain consistent as the number of creatures increases, and prevents each creature implementing it's own setTimeout / requestAnimationFrame blocks, which will hit performance. I'll create an issue. [Edit: #8]

Ah great stuff, thanks Prem

I've added some info to the readme, and also added a link to the relevant page on the async website
