-# SLBR
+# SUICIDE LINUX BATTLE ROYALE
+coming soon! check #slbr on irc for updates!
 
+typo? you're out.
+
+when you play, you'll be dropped in a fresh vm. on the way to your goal, any mistyped command will delete your vm and you'll be eliminated.
+
+contact ~ben or sose on tilde.chat (in the #slbr channel) to sign up.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- LXC
+- LXD with an lxdbr0 device configured
+- BSD style netcat
+- Tmux
+- Python 3
+- An open ssh port
+
+## Setup
+- Switch to the directory you would like to run SLBR in.
+- `git clone https://tildegit.org/tildeverse/SLBR`
+- `cd SLBR`
+- `ln -s $PWD/* ..`
+- `cd ..`
+
+## Running the game
+- Run `./listen.py` to start the death listener.
+- Run `./newuser.sh [user]` to create new users as you see fit.
+- Run `./deluser.sh [user]` to delete a user. (this is done automatically when a user types a command incorrectly)
+- Once all of your users are created and logged in, run `echo "1" > gamestatus` to start the game.
+
+## TODO
+- Handling of ssh keys and/or passwords
+- Install-time configuration (setting proper ips, hostname, etc.)
+
+This is a ~ work in progress ~
