+# McRogueFace - 2D Game Engine
+
+An experimental prototype game engine built for my own use in 7DRL 2023.
+
+*Blame my wife for the name*
+
+## Tenets:
+
+* C++ first, Python close behind.
+* Entity-Component system based on David Churchill's Memorial University COP4300 course lectures available on Youtube.
+* Graphics, particles and shaders provided by SFML.
+* Pathfinding, noise generation, and other Roguelike goodness provided by TCOD.
+
+## Why?
+
+I did the r/RoguelikeDev TCOD tutorial in Python. I loved it, but I did not want to be limited to ASCII. I want to be able to draw pixels on top of my tiles (like lines or circles) and eventually incorporate even more polish.
+
+## To-do
+
+* ✅ Initial Commit
+* ❌ Integrate scene, action, entity, component system from COMP4300 engine
+* ❌ Windows / Visual Studio project
+* ❌ Draw Sprites
+* ❌ Play Sounds
+* ❌ Draw UI, spawn entity from Python code
+* ❌ Python AI for entities (NPCs on set paths, enemies towards player)
+* ❌ Walking / Collision; "Boards" (stairs / doors / walk off edge of screen)
+* ❌ Cutscenes - interrupt normal controls, text scroll, character portraits
+* ❌ Mouse integration - tooltips, zoom, click to select targets, cursors
