Open-Terrarium/README.md

### What is this game?

__Open Terrarium__ is an open world, open source, 2D block based sandbox game where you can mine and craft.



### How does this differ from the thousands of other Terraria clones?

__Open Terrarium__ is written in a higher level language so that it's much easier to modify, debug, add into, and program in general.



### Why Love 2D?

Love 2D has an extensive, fast, and easy to learn API written in LUA which makes programming easier and fun.



### How do I run this game?

Currently this is in alpha, version 0.0.1 and has no packed executable. You can open a terminal, cd into the directory, and type __love .__ to run the game.



### Notes:

When programming, using Geany IDE seems to be the easiest. How to easily run the game using the __F5__ key is to go into __Build -> Set Build Commands__, then change the __Execute__ section to this:

![Execute Section](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jordan4ibanez/Open-Terrarium/master/github_resources/geany_1.png "Execute Section")
