+Here's the full guide on how to setup and compile Codename Engine!<br>
+
+> **Open the instructions for your platform**
+<details>
+    <summary>Windows</summary>
+
+1. Install [version 4.3.7 of Haxe](https://haxe.org/download/version/4.3.7/).
+2. Download and install [`git-scm`](https://git-scm.com/download/win).
+    - Leave all installation options as default.
+3. Run `setup-windows.bat` using cmd or double-clicking it and wait for the libraries to install.
+4. Once the libraries are installed, run `haxelib run lime test windows` to compile and launch the game (may take a long time)
+    - ℹ You can run `haxelib run lime setup` to make the lime command global, allowing you to execute `lime test windows` directly.
+</details>
+<details>
+    <summary>Linux</summary>
+
+1. Install [version 4.3.7 of Haxe](https://haxe.org/download/version/4.3.7/).
+2. Install `g++`, if not present already.
+3. Download and install [`git-scm`](https://git-scm.com/download/linux) if not present already.
+4. Run `setup-unix.sh` using the terminal or double-clicking it and wait for the libraries to install.
+5. Once the libraries are installed, run `haxelib run lime test linux` to compile and launch the game (may take a long time)
+    - ℹ You can run `haxelib run lime setup` to make the lime command global, allowing you to execute `lime test linux` directly.
+</details>
+<details>
+    <summary>MacOS</summary>
+
+1. Install [version 4.3.7 of Haxe](https://haxe.org/download/version/4.3.7/).
+2. Install `Xcode` to allow C++ app building.
+3. Download and install [`git-scm`](https://git-scm.com/download/mac).
+4. Run `setup-unix.sh` using the terminal and wait for the libraries to install.
+5. Once the libraries are installed, run `haxelib run lime test mac` to compile and launch the game (may take a long time)
+    - ℹ You can run `haxelib run lime setup` to make the lime command global, allowing you to execute `lime test mac` directly.
+</details>
+
+> [!TIP]
+> You can also run `.\cne-windows.bat -help` or `./cne-unix.sh -help` (depending on your platform) to check out more useful commands!<br>
+> For example `.\cne-windows test` or `./cne-unix.sh test` builds the game and uses the source assets folder instead of the export one for easier development (although you can still use `lime test` normally).
+> - If you're running the terminal from the project's main folder, use instead `.\building\cne-windows.bat -COMMAND HERE` or `./building/cne-unix.sh -COMMAND HERE` depending on your platform.
