 YAGE
 ====
 
-YAGE stands for Yet Another Game Engine.
+YAGE stands for Yet Another Game Engine. It is a game engine that I am developing for a game called [Arider](https://github.com/ymherklotz/Arider). 
+
+YAGE uses OpenGL and SDL2 for the window creation and management and graphics.
+
+Installation and Usage
+----------------------
+
+To compile YAGE, create a build directory from the base directory. Then call cmake and point it to the directory containing [CMakeLists.txt](/CMakeLists.txt).
+
+``` shell
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+```
+
+You can then run google test on YAGE.
+
+``` shell
+ctest
+```
