+DEVTOOLS
+========
+This folder contains two Python scripts to create resources for the Half-Life 1 engine. 
+Both may be run in a command-line. Both scripts require the pillow & image modules
+which can be installed by running:
+		pip install pillow
+		pip install image
+
+IMAGE TO BACKGROUND
+-------------------
+Takes a source image (PSD/PNG/TGA), and partitions & converts the image to Targa (TGA)
+format. The end result creates an 800x600 menu background for Half-Life 1 engine-based
+games, which is to be placed in resource/background.
+		Usage: python image_to_background.py path_to_image (psd/png/tga)
+
+
+IMAGE TO SPRITE
+---------------
+Takes a source image (PSD/PNG/) and converts it to the Half-Life 1 engine's sprite (SPR)
+format.
+		Usage: python image_to_spr.py path_to_image (psd/png)
