- Amethyst 2D Starter
-
-
-This project template will get you from 0 to drawing something on the screen in no time. If you're looking for a more in-depth introduction to the engine, please have a look at [our book](https://book.amethyst.rs/stable/)!
-
-## Quickstart
-
-- Clone the repository
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/amethyst/amethyst-starter-2d.git
-cd amethyst-starter-2d
-```
-
-- Build and run the project
-
-```bash
-cargo run
-```
-
-#### For Mac Users
-
-This starter uses vulkan as a renderer by default. You'll want to change the backend to use `metal`, which can be done by opening the `Cargo.toml` file and changing
-
-```toml
-[features]
-default = ["vulkan"]
-```
-
-to
-
-```toml
-[features]
-default = ["metal"]
-```
-
-If using OSX and Metal you will require full XCode installed from the Appstore in order to compile metal shaders.
-After install you may be required to run this command `sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer` [reference gfx-rs issue](https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx/issues/2472)
-
-#### For Linux Users
-
-You might need to install some dependencies. Please refer to [this section](https://github.com/amethyst/amethyst#dependencies) of the README for more details.

-## Features
-
-This project contains the minimum amount of code needed to draw sprites to the screen. Here's a small summary of what you'll find in the source files:
-
-- `resources/display_config.ron`
- Contains the window configuration (size, title).
-
-- `src/main.rs`
- Creates the render graph, adds the required bundles, builds the game data with our own state and finally, starts the game's main event loop.
-
-- `src/state.rs`
- Implements the main game state. In the `on_start` hook, the camera is initialized, and the sprites that will be drawn are loaded and their entities created.
- In the `handle_event` hook, we print any keys that were pressed and close the window if the user presses escape or the OS requests that we quit.
