+# libretrogd - Complicated Template/Example
+
+A more complicated usage example that can also serve as a new project template to get started using libretrogd. 
+
+This example project shows a relatively simple set up of using libretrogd's entity, events and state management 
+systems all together.
+
+Run `cargo run` from this directory to try it out.
