-Welcome to your wiki!
+Texture Packer
+---------------
+By Stuart Bridgens, 2013

-This is the default page, edit it as you see fit. To add a page simply reference it within brackets, e.g.: [SamplePage].

+Introduction.
+---------------
+This commandline utility is here to help you pack all your individual png images onto an organized 
+collection of sprite sheets. As well as outputting a manifest file that lets you know where your images 
+are.
+
+This functionality is aimed at gamedevs who sometimes use lots of individual images for their 2D games and
+animations. So, Nifty has a simple naming convention to help it understand the difference between a static
+single image and a sequence used to make an animation. You can also place your images in sub directories
+to create different packages.
+
+Installation
+---------------
+There shouldn't be anything else you need to install, just chuck the binary somewhere.
+
+Use
+---------------
+When compiled you invoke the program from the command line. If run without any options it searches the 
+directory it's in, and any sub directories, for png files and outputs a manifest called 'output', and a 
+number of png sheet images called 'outputN.png' where N is the number for that sheet. Any scanned sub
+directories will be treated as different outputs, so they take their manifest and sheet names from the
+name of the sub directory. To use options, type it in with a space between each option and value.
+
+-d [value] Specify the directory you want to scan.
+
+-o [value] The name for output and the directory you want to output to. For instance '-o output/test' 
+   will scan the 'output' directory (which in this example is a directory in the same one as the packer).

+   
+-p Output sheets are all padded to have sizes that are to a power of 2.
+
+-s Specifies the max size our sheets can be. The default is 1024.
+
+-f [value] Lets you choose an alternative format for the manifest output, you have some set choices for
+   what values you can use.
