+=================
+
+**Entropia Engine++** is a C++ 2D game engine designed for an easy cross-platform game development.
+
+**eepp provides:**
+------------------
+
+**Cross platform functionality:**
+---------------------------------
+
+  * Official support for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android.

+
+  * It should work on FreeBSD, Solaris and Haiku.
+
+
+**Graphic Module:**
+-------------------
+
+  * OpenGL 2 ( fixed-pipeline ), OpenGL 3 ( programmable-pipeline ), OpenGL ES 2, OpenGL ES 1, and OpenGL Core Profile support.
+
+  * Batch Renderer ( all the rendering is automatically batched by the engine ).
+
+  * TTF and Texture fonts support.
+
+  * Frame Buffer support.
+
+  * Shaders support ( with automatic fixed pipeline shaders to programmable conversor ).
+
+  * Vertex Buffer Object support.
+
+  * Particle System.
+
+  * Extendable Console.
+
+  * Animated Sprites.
+
+  * Texture Atlas support ( automatic creation and update of the texture atlas ).
+
+
+**Window Module:**
+------------------
+
+  * Backend based module, this means that you can easily create a backend for the window/input handling.
+
+  * Currently supports SDL 1.2, SDL 2 and SFML as backends.
+
+  * Clipboard support ( SDL 2 backend and partial support with SDL 1.2 ).
+
+  * Color hardware cursors ( SDL 2 fully supported, partial support with SDL 1.2 and SFML ).
+  
+  * Multiple windows
+
+  * Joystick support.
+
+
+**Audio Module:**
+-----------------
+
+  * OpenAL audio engine with extendable file format support. OGG support, and all the formats supported by libsndfile.
+
+
+**Physics Module:**
+-------------------
+
+  * Full OOP chipmunk physics wrapper.
+ 
+
+**System Module:**
+------------------
+
+  * Provides all the basics stuffs for the full multi-threading support of the engine, file formats support for packing, clocks, resource manager, and much more.
+
+
+*Base Module:*
+--------------
+
+  * Customizable Memory Manager. Used by default in debug mode to track memory leaks.
+
+  * UTF8, UTF-16, UTF-32, Ansi, Wide Char support.
+
+  * String class using UTF-32 chars internally.
+
+  * Debug macros
+
+
+**Math Module:**
+----------------
+
+  * General purpose functions and templates ( vector, quad, polygon, etc ).
+  
+  * Interpolation classes with easing.
+
+  * Some minor math utilities, include Mersenne Twister random number generator implementation, perlin noise and more.
+
+
+**Network Module**
+------------------
+  * Web Requests with HTTP client, with **SSL support**.
+  
+  * File Transfers with FTP client.
+  
+  * TCP and UDP sockets.
+
+
+**UI Module:**
+--------------
+
+  * Base controls to manage the game objects as nodes, with all basic input interaction events ( clicks, keypress, mouser over, focus, etc ).
+
+  * Fully featured UI system, with skinning support, animation support, scaling, rotating, clipping, events, messages, etc.
+  
+  * All the basic controls are implemented ( button, textbox, combobox, inputbox, menu, listbox, scrollbars, etc ).
+  
+  * Features as text selection and key bindings.
+
+
+**Gaming Module:**
+------------------
+
+  * Tiled Maps with software dynamic lights.
