Start of the starter pack so I can get the installs up and write a blog post about it.

-# game-dev-starter-pack
+# Game Dev Starter Pack
 
-A cross platform pre-configured C++ game development setup.  It uses Meson to build a bouncing game using SFML, ImGUI, and Box2d in the smallest C++ example possible.
+This repository contains a simple C++ project with the basics you need to get a game in C++ going.  It's meant to be an educational starting point for people interested in learning to make games in C++ from scratch.  It also would be a decent starting point for building a game with other frameworks like [Raylib](https://www.libsdl.org/), [SDL2](https://www.libsdl.org/), or anything that needs to be compiled.  This setup also works on Windows, OSX, and Linux and includes a "meta install" script for Windows that installs a complete C++ development environment.
+
+I recommend you get this project working with SFML and then rework it for the other framework you want to use, but honestly SFML is really good and works well.
+
+## If You Just Want to Make a Game
+
+This project is more geared toward people who want to learn C++ by making a bunch of little games, or people who want to learn how to make games from almost nothing.  If you have a burning desire to craft a game, then I recommend _not_ using this project and instead go learn any of these:
+
+1. [Defold](https://defold.com/)
+2. [Game Maker Studio](https://gamemaker.io/en)
+3. [Godot](https://godotengine.org/)
+4. [Unreal Engine](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US)
+5. [O3DE](https://o3de.org/)
+
+Keep in mind that I've only played with each of these, and have _not_ made a full game in them, so my opinion is highly suspect.  You should probably just download each one, think of a tiny little game to make, and try to make it. Pick the framework that gets the most of your game done with the least effort.
+
+### Windows
+
+If you have nothing installed then you'll want to run the `scripts/windows_setup.ps1` script to install everything. This script will run and prompt you for admin passwords as it installs what you need, so be sure to stay near your computer to type passwords in when requested.  To run it do this:
+
+1. Start a _normal_ non-Administrator PowerShell window.
+2. `irm https://learncodethehardway.com/cppsetup.ps1 > cppsetup.ps1`
+3. `powershell -executionpolicy bypass .\cppsetup.ps1`
+4. _STAY HERE_. For some dumb reason many installers have a timeout that will cause the installer to fail if you don't enter a password fast enough, so stay close until this is done.
+5. Close this PowerShell window and then you can run Windows Terminal and everything should work.  If not please email help@learncodethehardway.com to tell me what happened.
+
+The `cppsetup.ps1` file and the `scripts/windows_setup.ps1` should be exactly the same.  I'm having you use the `cppsetup.ps1` file since I assume you don't have `git` yet. Once that's done you should then be able to build the project:
+
+2. Run `.\setup.ps1`
+3. `meson compile -C builddir`
+4. `.\builddir\sfmldemo` -- That should run it and you see a window with ImGUI's demo panel.
+
+**WARNING**: You should look in the `setup.ps1` and `reset_build.p1` files for how a build is actually configured. The most important line is at the bottom `meson setup -Ddefault_library=static builddir` which properly configures the build so that the `sfmldemo.exe` program actually runs. Without the `-Ddefault_library=static` the `sfmldemo.exe` file will not have the `.dll` files it needs and will silently fail.  If it fails to start then run `start builddir` and double click on it to get the error messages.  Then run `reset_build.ps1` to get a good build.
+
+### OSX
+
+1. Get XCode and [Meson](https://mesonbuild.com/) installed.
+2. Run `./setup.sh`
+3. `meson compile -C builddir`
+4. `.\builddir\sfmldemo` -- That should run it and you see a window with ImGUI's demo panel.
+
+I'll have more extensive instructions in a later blog post, but if you have time try this out and let me know how it went at help@learncodethehardway.com.  Please let me know if you tried a different compiler, Windows version, etc.  If you're on OSX or Linux it should work the same but Linux people might want to use their package manager instead.
+
+### "Keyboard without any keys"
+
+If you get a weird error message of, "We got a keyboard without any keys" it's because of a security feature in OSX.  Go to `Security settings->Input Monitoring` and select your Terminal. Check it, enter your admin password, then restart your Terminal.  Now you can...read the keyboard in your own software.
+
+No, this does not enhance security at all. These people have gone full on insane at this point.
+
+## Linux
+
+I actually don't have a Linux computer ready to test, but if you have a brand of Linux you like then try the OSX instructions and email me at [help@learncodethehardway.com](mailto:help@learncodethehardway.com).
+
+## Next Steps
+
+I want the `main.cpp` to hit all the major features of SFML without getting too large, so these are some of the features I need to add:
+
+1. Joystick control.
+2. Drawing a floor and walls that work with the physics.
+3. Possibly using the networking and threading capabilities of SFML, but not really sure for what.
+4. Some kind of hit point calculator, since most everyone needs that.
