+# Regicide Chess
+
+Regicide Chess is a hybrid chess game for Android that combines classic chess rules with a regicide twist. Built with **LibGDX** and **Firebase**, it supports real-time multiplayer matches, letting players challenge friends or opponents online.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+The project follows the standard LibGDX multi-module layout:
+
+```
+RegicideChess/
+├── android/               # Android-specific module
+│   └── .../firebase/
+│       └── AndroidFirebase.java   # Main Firebase interface
+├── core/                  # Platform-independent game logic
+│   ├── database/          # Firebase data handling
+│   ├── input/             # Input processing
+│   ├── model/             # Game models
+│   ├── network/           # Networking utilities
+│   ├── screens/           # Game screens
+│   │   ├── Lobby/         # Lobby creation/joining
+│   │   ├── Game/          # Main gameplay
+│   │   ├── MainMenu/      # Main menu
+│   │   └── Setup/         # Setup pieces 
+│   ├── states/            # Game state management
+│   └── utils/             # Helper classes
+├── assets/                # Sprites, fonts
+└── ...                    # Gradle build files, etc.
+```
+
+- **android/**: Contains Android-specific code, notably `AndroidFirebase.java` which acts as the central hub for all Firebase operations.
+- **core/**: All shared game logic, UI screens, input handling, and networking abstractions. This module is independent of Android and can be reused on other platforms.
+- **assets/**: Images (piece sprites)
+
+## Compilation and Execution
+
+### For End Users (Play Store / APK)
+
+1. Download the `RegicideChess.apk` from the [Releases Page](https://git.ntnu.no/TDT4240-14/TDT4240/-/releases)
+2. Copy it to your Android device and install it. You may need to enable **Install from unknown sources** in your device settings.
+3. Tap the app icon to launch.
+
+### For Developers (Build from Source)
+
+#### Prerequisites
+- [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio) (with Android SDK and build tools)
+- Java 11 or higher
+
+#### Steps
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://git.ntnu.no/TDT4240-14/TDT4240.git
+   ```
+2. Open the project in **Android Studio**.
+3. Wait for Gradle sync to complete (it will automatically download all dependencies, including LibGDX and Firebase SDKs).
+4. Build the APK:
+   - Go to the top menu: `Build` → `Build Bundle(s) / APK(s)` → `Build APK(s)`.
+5. The debug APK will be generated at:
+   ```
+   app/build/outputs/apk/debug/
+   ```
+
+#### Running on an Emulator or Device
+- Connect your Android device via USB or start an emulator.
+- Click the **Run** button in Android Studio.
+
+## Testing Multiplayer with BlueStacks
+
+Since multiplayer requires two devices, we recommend using [BlueStacks](https://www.bluestacks.com) (a free Android emulator for PC) to run multiple instances.
+
+1. Install BlueStacks and open the **Multi‑Instance Manager**.
+2. Create two separate instances (e.g., `Instance 1` and `Instance 2`).
+3. Launch both instances.
+4. Drag the `RegicideChess.apk` file into each BlueStacks window to install the game.
+5. On one instance, create a new lobby. On the other, join using the displayed **Game ID**.
+6. Play a full match – this simulates two real devices and helps catch multiplayer bugs.
