+## Dependencies
+
+- [gcc]
+- [cmake]
+- [python3]
+- [libsdl2-dev]
+- [libsdl2-mixer-dev]
+- [inotify-tools]
+
+### Ubuntu
+
+```console
+$ sudo apt-get install gcc cmake libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev python3 inotify-tools
+```
+
+### NixOS
+
+For [NixOS] we have a development environment defined in [default.nix]
+with all of the required dependencies. You can enter the environment
+with `nix-shell` command:
+
+```console
+$ nix-shell
+```
+
+### Arch Linux
+
+```console
+$ sudo pacman -S gcc cmake sdl2 sdl2_mixer python inotify-tools
+```
+
+### Windows
+
+See [Build on Windows][build-on-windows] section.
 
 ## Quick Start
 
 ```console
-$ nix-shell              # Only on NixOS
 $ mkdir build
 $ cd build/
 $ cmake ..
 $ make
-$ ./nothing <level-file>
+$ ./nothing ../levels/level-01.txt
+$ ./nothing_test
+```
+
+## Controls

+| `c`     | Open debug console                                          |
+| `r`     | Reload the current level including the Player's position    |
+| `q`     | Reload the current level preserving the Player's position   |
+| `p`     | Toggle game pause                                           |
+| `l`     | Toggle transparency on objects. Useful for debugging levels |
+
+#### Gamepad
+
+| Button       | Action                 |
+|--------------|------------------------|
+| `Left Stick` | Movement of the Player |
+| `1`          | Jump                   |

+| `Enter`   | Evaluate the expression  |
+| `Up/Down` | Traverse console history |
+
+## Editing Levels
+
+Generally creating a level looks like:
+
+```
+SVG File -> Custom Level File -> Game
 ```
 
+To convert SVG to the level file and run [svg2rects.py] script:
+
+```console
+$ python3 ./devtools/svg2rects.py -i <svg-file> -o <level-file>
+```
+
+All of the levels reside in the [./levels/] folder. Use
+[./levels/Makefile] to automatically rebuild all levels.
+
+### Level Editing Workflow
+
+1. `$ inkscape ./levels/level.svg &`
+2. `$ ./build/nothing ./levels/level.txt &`
+3. `$ cd ./levels/`
+4. `$ make watch`
+5. Edit Level in Inkscape and Save
+6. Switch to the Game and reload level by pressing Q
+7. Go to 5
