           Simple 2-Dimensional ARPG Engine	


===================================================
Introduction
===================================================
Zeta is a simple 2-Dimensional ARPG Engine aiming to provide developers an 
easier way to produce small to medium scale ARPG games. This is achieved by 
taking away some complex operations, like movement and collision, from the 
game developer and letting him/her work on content and GUI instead.

-------> I wouldn't recomend to anyone begin working on games right now, as the 
Documentation is not released yet. It is just a demo. The Users Manual will be 
released in the near future and then everything will be ready for development.

===================================================
How it works?
===================================================
There is the binary core where it handles the 
"difficult" stuff, and the Content where it is user defined. The developer 
creates the XML and Lua scripts and the Core "handles" them accordingly. 
The Engine's Lua Api provides some Low Level functioning too for more advanced 
programming. However if someone wants to move it even beyond, they will have 
to get to the Core sources and edit them to their needs.

===================================================
Platforms supported
===================================================
Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and Linux Mint 17.1
Other ABI compatible distros should run it.

===================================================
How to run the Demo
===================================================
Firstly make sure to change the exectuable bit on the "run.sh" and "Zeta"

On terminal (make sure you are in the Folder you extracted)
	user@user ~/Zeta: chmod u+x ./run.sh
	user@user ~/Zeta: chmod u+x ./Zeta

Then run the "run.sh" script

	user@user ~/Zeta:./run.sh

If everything is alright, then the Demo will start.
