+# kopengi
+### Regan Russell
+
+kopengi is an open-source, cross-platform game engine written in C++. It is built on the theory of not reinventing the wheel, and creating a logical, easy to use engine structure that makes development simple and understandable. It relies on OpenGL and various helper libraries to make my job easier, and keep the engine itself as straightforward as possible.
+
+The following third-party libraries are used:
+* GLFW
+* GLEW
+* ASSIMP
+* SOIL
+* GLM
+
+kopengi (for the time being) can be modified but not sold, nor used in any commercial projects.
