+# Rustifarm content creation tutorial
+
+This tutorial covers the basics of how to make maps and objects for rustifarm.
+Before starting this tutorial you should be able to run the server either by running the binary or by using cargo.
+See the [Readme](https://github.com/jmdejong/rustifarm/blob/master/README.md#installationrunning) for installation instructions.
+
+The content usually consists of two parts:  
+- The encyclopediae define what objects and items exist and what they do
+- The maps define what items are placed in a room and where
+
+Encyclopediae can be found in the `encyclopediae` directory within the content directory, and maps can be found in the `maps` directory.
+Maps are sometimes also called rooms.
+
+For the first part of the tutorial all the default encyclopedia from the game will be used.
+
+## Starting with a different content directory
+
+This tutorial uses its own content directory: tutorial/content1/
+The encyclopediae directory within this content directory is symlinked to the encyclopediae directory from the default content directory for rustifarm.
+If this link does not work you can try copying that directory (so copy rustifarm/content/encyclopediae/ to /rustifarm/tutorial/content0/encyclopediae/).
+
+To run the server with this content directory use the `-c` flag.
+
+If you have a binary called `asciifarm` run:
+
+	./asciifarm -c path/to/tutorial/content1
+
+Or if you are running it using cargo, run:
+
+	cargo run -- -c path/to/tutorial/content1
+
+## Simple map definition
+
+Here is the definition for a little island room:
+
+	{
+		"width": 16,
+		"height": 16,
+		"spawn": [7, 8],
+		"field": [
+			"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~",
+			"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~",
+			"~~~~,,,,,,,,~~~~",
+			"~~~,,,#####,,~~~",
+			"~~,,,,#+++#,,,~~",
+			"~~,,,,#+++#,,,~~",
+			"~~,,,,##D##,,,~~",
+			"~~,,,,,,.,,,,,~~",
+			"~~,,T,,,.,,,,,~~",
+			"~~,,,,,,.,,,,,~~",
+			"~~,,,T,,.,,,,,~~",
+			"~~,,,,,,.,,T,,~~",
+			"~~~,,,,,.,,,,~~~",
+			"~~~~,,,,.,,,~~~~",
+			"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~",
+			"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
+		],
+		"mapping": {
+			"#": "wall",
+			",": "grass",
+			".": "ground",
+			"~": "water",
+			"b": "bridge",
+			"+": "floor",
+			"'": "greengrass",
+			"T": ["grass", "tree"],
+			"f": ["grass", "fence"],
+			"X": "rock",
+			"D": ["ground", "closeddoor"],
+			" ": []
+		}
+	}
+
+The "width" and "height" fields define the size of the room (16 by 16 in this case).
+
+The "spawn" field defines where new players spawn in this room. In this case that is on location x: 7, y: 8.
+
+The "field" field is a list of strings that represent all the tiles.
+Each character corresponds to a certain object or a list of objects.
+
+What object a character corresponds to is defined in the "mapping" field.
+<!-- Each character in "field" must have a matching enty in "mapping" (otherwise the room can not be loaded). -->
+
+In this example the '~' character corresponds to a tile with one object: 'water'.
+The water object is defined in the encyclopedia.
+
+Similarily, the ',' corresponds to a tile with grass.
+
+Sometimes it is necessary to have more that one object on the same tile, like for the door. In this case the entry can be a list of tiles.
+
+## Tile definitions
+
+Let's take a look at some definitions for simple tiles.
+
+	"water": {
+		"sprite": "water",
+		"height": 0.0
+	}
+
+Water has a very simple definition: it is using the sprite named "water" and it has a height of 0.
+The height is used to determine the drawing order when multiple objects are in the same tile: an object with a larger height will always be drawn on top of an object with a smaller height.
+In this case it does not really matter since there are no other objects on the same tile.
+
+	"ground": {
+		"sprite": "ground",
+		"height": 0.1,
+		"flags": ["Floor", "Soil"]
+	},
+
+The ground is simple too.
+It has the "ground" tile, and it is a bit taller than water, but still not very tall.
+The gound also has some flags: "Floor" and "Soil".
+"Floor" means that the player can walk on that tile.
+Players (and other objects as well) can only walk on tiles that have at least one object with a "Floor" flag.
+The "Soil" flag means that it is possible to plant plants here
+
+	"wall": {
+		"sprite": "wall",
+		"height": 2,
+		"flags": ["Blocking"]
+	},
+
+Walls are a bit taller.
+Walls have the blocking flag which means that it is not possible to walk to that square, even when there is a "Floor" flag.
+
+To clarify the walking: you can walk to a tile if and only if there that tile has at least one object with a "Floor" flag and no objects with the "Blocking" flag.
+
