-pixwerx 
--------
+# pixwerx 
+
+pixwerx is an opinionated, academic approach to a 3D engine. It tries to mix 
+modern andproven methods to build a fast and portable engine beyond pure 3D. 
+
+## Design Principles
+
+Dogdooding: pixwerx is built on the principle of dogfooding. The engine is a 
+full-stack system that tries to implement all necessary functions. The engine 
+editor is just a UI build with the engine.
+
+Reasonable dependencies: like many engines pixwerx tries to include as much 3rd-
+party code as possible and implements some of the core systems itself.
+
+No premature optimization: pixwerx implements only very few systems with machine
+code. It tries to utilize the power of the compiler as much as possible.
+
+Computer graphics 101: pixwerx does implement graphics components and systems in 
+a  way that makes code portable and not over-parameterized. Usability is 
+achieved through layers on top of the core components.
