-# libWiiPy

+libWiiPy is a port of the project [libWiiSharp](https://github.com/TheShadowEevee/libWiiSharp), originally created by `Leathl`, now maintained by [@TheShadowEevee](https://github.com/TheShadowEevee), back to Python after it was created by porting [Wii.py](https://github.com/grp/Wii.py) to C#.
+
+### Why port this again instead of just updating Wii.py?
+This is a really good question. Frankly, a lot of it comes from the fact that I am inexperienced with all of this Wii stuff. Attempting to recreate the features of libWiiSharp in Python with all of the freedom to do that however I see fit makes it a lot easier for someone like me to make this work. The code for Wii.py is also on the older side and is just written in a way that I can't easily understand. It's helpful as a reference here and there, but I mostly want to write this library in a unique way.
+
+I also want to package this as a proper PyPI package, and starting with a clean slate will make that a lot easier as well.
+
+# Building
+To build this package locally, the steps are quite simple, and should apply to all platforms. Make sure you've set up your `venv` first!
+
+First, install the dependencies from `requirements.txt`:
+```py
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Then, build the package using the Python `build` module:
+```py
+python -m build
+```
+
+And that's all! You'll find your compiled pip package in `dist/`.
+
+# Special Thanks
