-The Narya library
------------------
-
-The Narya library provides various facilities for making networked
-multiplayer games. Its various packages include:
-
-  * geom, util, io - basic tools for doing networked I/O, data structure
-    manipulation and some geometry math
-  * resource - tools for bundling, deploying and managing media (images,
-    sounds, etc.) with a game
-  * media - a framework for doing "active" rendering in Java
-  * media.image - tools for loading, caching, manipulating and displaying images
-  * media.sound - tools for loading, caching, and playing audio
-  * media.animation, media.sprite - works in concert with the active
-    rendering system and provides tools for defining and manipulating
-    sprites (graphical entities that follow paths) and animations
-    (graphical entities that affect the display in other ways)
-  * miso - a framework for defining and displaying isometrically rendered scenes
-  * presents - a framework for distributing information among a server and
-    networked clients
-  * crowd - builds on the presents framework to create the notion of
-    bodies and rooms and provides chat infrastructure
-  * whirled - builds on the crowd framework and defines a scene graph with
-    portals to move between scenes and provides hooks for distributing and
-    updating scene data (for example isometric rendering information) over
-    the network
-  * cast - a framework for defining and using recolorable, composited
-    characters with different poses and actions
-  * parlor - builds upon the crowd framework to create the notion of a
-    game with players and provides tools for making turn based games
-  * puzzle - builds on the parlor and media frameworks to provide tools
-    for implementing puzzle games in a networked environment
-  * micasa - builds on the parlor framework to provide lobbies and
-    matchmaking for multiplayer games 
-
-Documentation is somewhat sparse at the moment, but inspection of the code
-in the tests/ directory shows examples of use of many features of the
-library.
-
-Building
---------
-
-Building the library is very simple. First ensure that the necessary third
-party jar files are available either in the lib/ directory or in the
-system wide jar file location specified in build.xml. See lib/README for a
-list of the necessary third party jar files and how to get them.
-
-The library is built using ant, a modern build tool available from The
-Jakarta Project. If you aren't already using ant for other projects, it
-can be found here:
-
-  http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/
-
-Invoke ant with any of the following targets:
-
-  all: builds the distribution files and javadoc documentation
-  compile: builds only the class files (dist/classes)
-  javadoc: builds only the javadoc documentation (dist/docs)
-  dist: builds the distribution jar files (dist/*.jar)
-
-Distribution
-------------
-
-The Narya library is released under the LGPL. The most recent version of
-the library is available here:
-
-  http://code.google.com/p/narya/
-
-Contributions and Contact Information
--------------------------------------
-
-Narya is actively developed by the scurvy dogs at Three Rings Design, Inc.
-Contributions are welcome.

-Questions, comments, contributions, and other worldly endeavors can be
