-# RainbowSnake
-Like the classic snake game, just more colourful
+# Rainbow snake
+
+![Alt Text](readme_stuff/title.PNG)
+
+## Overview
+Simple snake game, nothing too crazy, only some colour - great for a quick and relaxing game. Make as a learning exercise for C and SDL2.
+Game is available on my [itch.io page](https://solaire.itch.io/rainbow-snake)
+
+Features
+- Rainbow gradient (150 colors)
+- 12 difficulty levels (snake updates per second)
+- Victory condition
+- Defeat delay frame - basically the player will get an extra frame to react before defeat is registered (makes the game less annoying at higher levels)
+- Small size (less than 1MB)
+
+## Using
+Download a release from the releases page. The game works on Windows and Linux (tested on Win10 and ubuntu respectively) - feel free to make a Mac-friendly version
+
+## Building from source
+The game has been written using Code::Blocks IDE and both Windows and Linux have their own Debug and Release builds.
+- For least pain, load the C::B project and build selected version
+- You can use the makefiles (makefile_win32 and makefile_unix) but they have not been tested
+- You will need to copy the font.ttf into the directory with the game
+  - For Windows builds, you'll also need to copy the SDL2/SDL2_TTF runtime dependencies.
+

+You can support the project in the following ways:
