 # gamedev2
-gamedev but better
+
+gamedev2 is a reincarnation of a previous 
+    [project](https://github.com/tcsullivan/gamedev) created by 
+    [Andy Belle-Isle](https://github.com/drumsetmonkey) and 
+    [Clyne Sullivan](https://github.com/tcsullivan).
+
+After a long time developing [gamedev](https://github.com/tcsullivan/gamedev),
+we decided a large amount of the codebase was rather messy and inefficient.
+Instead of rewriting gamedev piece by piece, we decided that the final
+product would be of a much higher quality if the project was restarted from
+scratch.
+
+## Goal
+The goal of gamedev2 is to create a commercial-grade video game in which content
+can be created through the use of scripting languages such as Lua. One of the
+things that sets gamedev2 apart from many other indie games is that gamedev2
+is an engine in itself. By creating the engine behind the game, we are able to
+implement only the necessary features needed to make gamedev2 run smoothly
+without the extra bloat brought on by a general purpose game engine.
+
+## Features (Planned)
+* Fully modifiable through the use of scripting languages
+* Multiplayer
+
+## Libraries
+The libraries used to develop gamedev2 are as follows:
+* SDL2
+* OpenGL
+* GLEW
+* GLU
+* Lua
+* EntityX
+* FreeType 2
+
+
+## Building gamedev2
+### Build Requirements
+gamedev2 is actively developed on Linux, so the Windows build process may not
+be as simple as the Linux requirements listed below.
+In order to build gamedev2 the following programs are needed:
+* Make
+* g++ (version >7)
+* 64-Bit OS support
+
+### Linux
+In order to build gamedev2 on Linux, the process is fairly simple.
+1. First cd into the root gamedev2 directory
+```
+cd gamedev2
+```
+
+2. EntityX must be build first before the rest of gamedev2
+```
+cd lib/entityx
+make
+cd ../..
+```
+
+3. To build gamedev2 itself the following can be run:
+```
+make
+```
+In order to make gamedev2 using multiple threads, use the following instead:
+```
+make -jN
+```
+with 'N' being the number of threads to use while building.
+
+4. Once built, gamedev2 can be run with
+```
+./main
+```
