You can use it as a reference to see how certain things are done (like the exact damage calculation or so).
It's probably easier to start from scratch using other libraries, provided you know what you're doing. In the category of unfinished projects, I did have a half running Dink engine with green grass land and statusbars so it is possible to get it running from scratch without too much hassle.
The good thing about beginning from scratch though it that you can configure certain things right from the beginning
