1 Introduction 
---------------

Welcome to the Liberated Pixel Cup style guide and base asset
directory!  The Liberated Pixel Cup is a contest for free software and
free culture game authoring sponsored by Creative Commons, the Free
Software Foundation, Mozilla, and OpenGameArt.  To learn more about
Liberated Pixel Cup, please visit the [Liberated Pixel Cup website].

This repository contains both documentation (particularly, defining
the style) and base assets for the Liberated Pixel Cup.  As a bonus
and demonstration, it also includes a simple "walkaround demo game" in
the documentation.

2 Building the documentation 
-----------------------------

Building the documentation is simple.  Make sure you have [Sphinx]
installed on your system.  On Debianoid GNU/Linux systems, you can
install it like:

$ sudo apt-get install python-sphinx

You can then compile the documentation using make:

$ make

This should build everything into the build/ directory.  You can now
open this like so:

$ firefox build/index.html

3 Sprites/tiles/assets 
-----------------------

You can find the base assets in the ~sprites/~ folder in this directory.
