+# Requirements / Tools
+
+- Java IDE such as IntelliJ or Eclipse
+- Git
+- Maven
+- Android dev kit (optional: for Android releases)
+- Xamarin (optional: for iOS development)
+- Gitlab account
+
+# Project Quick Setup
+
+- Log in to gitlab with your user account and fork the project.
+
+- Clone your forked project to your local machine
+
+- Go to the project location on your machine.  Run Maven to download all dependencies and build a snapshot.  Example for Windows & Linux: `mvn -U -B clean -P windows-linux install`
+
+# Eclipse
+
+## Project Setup
+
+- Follow the instructions for cloning from Gitlab.  You'll need a Gitlab account setup and an SSH key defined.  I'm on a
+  windows machine and use Putty with TortoiseGit.  Run puttygen.exe to generate the key -- save the private key and export
+  the OpenSSH public key.  If you just leave the dialog open, you can copy and paste the key from it to your Gitlab profile under
+  "SSH keys".
+   
+  Run pageant.exe and add the private key generated earlier.  TortoiseGit will use this for accessing Gitlab.
+   
+- Fork the Forge git repo to your Gitlab account.
+
+- Clone your forked repo to your local machine.
+
+- You need maven to load in dependencies and build.  Install that. `mvn -U -B clean -P windows-linux install` from the root repo dir will create everything needed.
+
+- Make sure the Java SDK is installed -- not just the JRE.  Java 8 or newer required.  I'm personally running 11.
+
+- Install Eclipse for Java.  Launch it.  I'm using Eclipse 2018-12.
+
+- Create a workspace.  Go to the workbench.  Right-click inside of Package Explorer > Import... > General > Existing Projects into Workspace > Navigate to local forge repo >
+  Check "Search for nested projects" > Uncheck 'forge', check the rest > Finish.
+  
+- Let Eclipse run through building the project.
+
+## Project Launch

+# General Notes
+
+## Desktop
+
+The desktop GUI is based off of Java Swing.
+
+## Mobile
+
+The mobile GUI is based off of [libgdx](https://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/).  As with many other libgdx projects, there is a mobile-dev version that runs on the desktop but is separate and distinct from the 'desktop GUI' mentioned above.
