+TerranQuest
+====================
+
+TerranQuest is an augmented reality mobile game, written using open web 
+technologies.
+
+It's compiled with Apache Cordova (or Phonegap if you're into that).
+
+Check out the website at https://terranquest.net.
+
+Notes
+--------------------
+To get this project ready for build, type `cordova prepare`.  This reads the 
+config.xml, extracting platform and plugin info.  Required repositories are 
+downloaded and installed automatically.
+
+To compile, simply run `cordova build`.
+
+License
+--------------------
+TerranQuest code (not the graphical assets, like the logos and stuff) is 
+released under the Apache License 2.0.
+
+If you're going to make your own game and share it, you'll need to put in the 
+effort to make the graphics yourself, as they are 
+copyright (c) 2016 Netsyms Technologies, all rights reserved.  It's not that hard.
+We're just lazy and don't want to separate the pictures out from the code.  
+If you're just tinkering with the code and aren't sharing binaries, that's fine 
+though.
