+         * @param Number amt - amount to zoom in on the target by (eg. 2, 4, 0.5)
+         * @param Number pos_x - the x coordinate to zoom towards
+         * @param Number pos_y - the y coordinate to zoom towards
+         * @param Number time - the duration in ms of the entire zoom operation
+         * @param easingFn - A string or custom function specifying an easing.  (Defaults to linear behavior.)  See Crafty.easing for more information.
+         *
+         * Zooms the camera towards a given point, preserving the current center. amt > 1 will bring the camera closer to the subject
+         * amt < 1 will bring it farther away. amt = 0 will reset to the default zoom level
+         * Zooming is multiplicative. To reset the zoom amount, pass 0.
+         *
+         * @example
+         * ~~~
+         * // Make the entities appear twice as large by zooming in towards (100,100) over the duration of 3 seconds using linear easing behavior
