+`cd` to the repo directory. hopefully you're already here :P
+
+add user-level racket dir to your PATH
+```bash
+export PATH=$HOME/.racket/$(racket -e "(displayln (version))")/bin:$PATH
+```
+
+install package from repo
+```bash
+raco pkg install ./crossfire
+```
+
+setup development environment
+```bash
+export DATABASE_URL="sqlite:lib/crossfire.sqlite"
+mkdir -p lib/projects
+```
+
+initialize server with some temporary dev commands (this assumes your computer is x86_64 linux)  
+the arch corresponds to the output of `gcc -dumpmachine` for the target
+```bash
+crossfire-server dev-new-agent meow x86_64-pc-linux-gnu  # exports lib/meow.rktd
+crossfire-server dev-export-client  # exports lib/client0.rktd
+```
+
+start the server and a development version of the agent (WIP) using the exported agent config
+```bash
+crossfire-server
+# somewhere else
+racket crossfire/agent.rkt -c lib/meow.rktd
+```
+
+set up the client with access to the server using the previous client config
+```bash
+crossfire-client setup lib/client0.rktd
+```
+
+create a new project
+```bash
+crossfire-client new meow2
+cd meow2
+```
+
+edit config `manifest.rktd`
+ - change `(mode stdio)` to `(mode callback)` (stdio mode isn't working yet)
+ - change `(command ...)` to `(command "./meow")`
+
+generate files (Makefile, crossfire.c, crossfire.h -- these are support code for running your code
+on agents. in callback mode, your code registers a callback with crossfire that gets called for each
+possible input, and returns true or false)
+```
+crossfire-client generate
+```
+
+create a new source file `meow.c` with the following
+
+```c
+#include "crossfire.h"
+
+bool my_callback( vartype a,vartype b,vartype c,vartype d,vartype e,vartype f) {
+    return e == '4' && f == '2';
+}
+
+int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
+    return crossfire_main(argc, argv, my_callback);
+}
+```
+
+update the makefile
+```make
+.PHONY: all clean
+
+CC=gcc
+CFLAGS=-std=c11 -O3
+LDFLAGS=-static
+
+all: meow
+
+meow: meow.o crossfire.o
+
+clean:
+	$(RM) meow meow.o
+
+
+# crossfire rules
+
+### leave this section alone
+```
+
+build project
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+now we're ready to submit
+```bash
+crossfire-client submit
+```
+
+check status of projects
+```bash
+crossfire-client status
+```
+
+this one completes pretty fast, so you should see 100% progress and one match
+let's show the match (assuming the project ID from the status command is `1`)
+```bash
+crossfire-client show 1
+```
+
+aaaaand yeah that's all for now. smp is not supported yet. stdio mode is also not supported yet.
+lots of stuff still probably broken tbh  
+contributions welcome,,,,
