-NodeBox for OpenGL 1.6
-http://cityinabottle.org/nodebox
+NodeBox for OpenGL
+==================
+
+NodeBox for OpenGL is a Python module for creating 2D interactive visuals using OpenGL. It is based on the command set of the classic NodeBox for Mac OS X (http://nodebox.net). It has support for Bezier paths, text, image filters (blur, bloom, ...), offscreen rendering, animation & motion tweening, and simple 2D physics. Its purpose is to implement a small game engine for "City In A Bottle" (http://cityinabottle.org).
+
+VERSION
+=======
+
+1.6
+
+LICENSE
+=======
+
+BSD, see LICENSE.txt for further details.
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+============
+
+NodeBox for OpenGL is built on the excellent Pyglet module. It works on all platforms if you have Python and Pyglet installed. Note: on Mac OS 10.5, Python is already installed. On Mac OS X 10.6+ (Snow Leopard), you need to install a 32-bit version of Python (Pyglet won't work as expected with the preinstalled 64-bit version).
+
+- Python 2.5-6 : an installer can be downloaded from http://www.python.org/download/
+- Pyglet 1.4+  : an installer can be downloaded from http://www.pyglet.org/
+
+Your video hardware needs support for OpenGL 2.0.
+If this is not the case, try updating to a new driver.
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+
+To be able to import NodeBox in your scripts, Python needs to know where the module is located. 
+There are three basic ways to accomplish this:
+
+- Put the nodebox/ folder in the same folder as your script.
+- Put the nodebox/ folder in the standard location for modules so it is available to all scripts.
+  The standard location depends on your operating system, for example:
+  /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/ on Mac,
+  /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ on Unix,
+  c:\python25\Lib\site-packages\ on Windows.
+- In your script, add the location of NodeBox to sys.path, before importing it:
+  >>> MODULE = '/users/tom/python/nodebox'
+  >>> import sys; if MODULE not in sys.path: sys.path.append(MODULE)
+  >>> import nodebox
+
+If you get an "import pyglet" error, make sure that Pyglet is installed in site-packages/ too.
+
+Binaries:
+NodeBox contains C extensions for faster mathematics. 
+These are precompiled for Mac, on other systems you need to execute "python setup.py" in nodebox/ext/ manually.
+Psyco (http://psyco.sourceforge.net/) can boost performance as well (if you use a 32-bit Python).
+A version precompiled for Mac is included in nodebox/ext/.
+
+USAGE
+=====
+
+- For users coming from NodeBox for Mac OS X, or NodeBox 2: this NodeBox for OpenGL does not have a built-in code editor. You can use the IDLE editor bundled with Python. On Mac OS X, we prefer TextMate (http://macromates.com).
+- From the command line, you can run a script with: python example.py (or command-R in TextMate)
+- This will open an application window with the output of your script.
+
+Here is a simple NodeBox script:
+
+>>> from nodebox.graphics import *
+>>> def draw(canvas):
+>>>     canvas.clear()
+>>>     translate(250, 250)
+>>>     rotate(canvas.frame)
+>>>     rect(x=-50, y=-50, width=100, height=100)
+>>> canvas.size = 500, 500
+>>> canvas.run(draw)
+
+It imports the nodebox.graphics module with the standard set of drawing commands. It defines a draw() function and attaches it to the canvas, so that it will be drawn each animation frame. It opens the main application window with canvas.run().
