+Crank is a wrapper for cargo when creating games for the [Playdate handheld gaming system](https://play.date) in Rust. This is just a tool, the actually Rust wrappers for Playdate are found in its own [repository](https://github.com/rtsuk/crankstart).
 
 This software is not sponsored or supported by Panic.
 
 ## Requirements
 
-The Playdate SDK installed in `$HOME/Developer/PlaydateSDK`.
-
-Rust, easiest installed via [rustup](https://rustup.rs)
-
-Rust toolchain __nightly__ needed for the unstable `aloc` feature, installed with `rustup install nightly`.
-
-If you want want to build for the Playdate device, you will need the `thumbv7em-none-eabihf` target. Added with `rustup +nightly target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf`
-
-All of the requirements listed in [Inside Playdate with C](https://sdk.play.date/inside-playdate-with-c#_prerequisites).
+ * The Playdate SDK installed in `$HOME/Developer/PlaydateSDK` on Linux or MacOS, `$HOME/Documents/PlaydateSDK` on Window, or at the path specified by the `$PLAYDATE_SDK` environment variable.
+ * Rust, easiest installed via [rustup](https://rustup.rs).
+ * Switch to the nightly toolchain using `rustup toolchain install nightly`, required for the `build-std` feature.
+ * If you want to build for the Playdate device, you will need the `thumbv7em-none-eabihf` target. Added with `rustup +nightly target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf`

 ## Installation
 
 Since crank is not yet on crates.io, one needs to download it with git and install it with cargo.
 
-    cargo install --git=https://github.com/pd-rs/crank
+```shell
+cargo install --git=https://github.com/pd-rs/crank
+```
 
 After that one should be able to run crank
 
-    crankstart $ crank build -h
-    crank-build 0.1.0
-    Build binary targeting Playdate device or Simulator
+```shell
+crankstart $ crank build -h
+crank-build 0.1.0
+Build binary targeting Playdate device or Simulator

-        crank build [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

-The command `build` is a bit of a misnomer, as it both builds, creates a .pdx directory and runs the game on the simulator or device.

-In order to include assets like images, crank optionally reads a Crank.toml file with lists of files to include in the .pdx directory. See the wrapper repository for an example.

 Crank is only regularly tested on Mac, but has worked on Windows and Linux in the past.
