        Dililatum
        =========
        
        Have you ever heard of Dililatum?
        
        Perhaps not. For Dililatum is Something New. Dililatum has a quest;
        and that quest is to distribute Python power to quest-oriented
        RPG-like computer-based keyboard-using video games. At least that's
        its purpose.
        
        Dililatum can be considered a game engine, but in reality it's a game
        library. It is written in Python using PyGame for graphics and sound
        in games. Dililatum also depends on NumPy. More specifically, it's
        like this:
        
        
        Dependencies
        ============

        where it's okay to walk -- and where it's not ok.
        <http://numpy.scipy.org/>
        Debian etc.: apt-get install python-numpy
        Fedora etc.: yum install python-numpy

        Details
        =======
        
        Dililatum is released under the GNU GPLv3+ and is free
        software. Dililatum is downloadable from
        http://metanohi.org/projects/dililatum/. The version of this
        Dililatum is v0.1. Many features are not complete yet.
        
        For an example of what Dililatum is capable of, try downloading
        ForestQuest. It's available at
        http://metanohi.org/projects/forestquest/. It's still a work in
        progress, but it works.
        
        The logo of Dililatum, found in the "logo" directory, is available

        Installing
        ==========
        
        To install Dililatum, write this in a terminal::
        
        $ ./setup.py install
        
        After installing it, you can run it like this::
        
        $ dililatum GAME
        
        If you choose not to install it, the Python file you should run is
        called "dililatum" and located in the "bin" directory.
        
        Note that Dililatum has many command-line options, which is why it's a
        good idea to run "dililatum --help".
        
        Dililatum comes with several tools for more easily developing
        games. These are named 'dilatiumdev*'.
        
        Documentation is available in the "docs" directory.
        
        Developers are very welcome.
