Basis

Something like Spirit of Half-Life. The intent is to add more features to the Half-Life SDK and better documenting the engine's features while maintaining the same style.

Updating Steamworks SDK

The current required version of the Steamworks SDK is 1.53a

The version of the Steamworks SDK to build with needs to match steamapps/common/Half-Life/steam_api.dll: go to https://partner.steamgames.com/downloads/list and find the version whose sdk\redistributable_bin\steam_api.dll has the same version as steamapps/common/Half-Life/steam_api.dll

Copy sdk/redistributable_bin/steam_api.lib to lib/public/, copy sdk/redistributable_bin/linux32/libsteam_api.so to linux/ and copy sdk/public/steam/*.h to public/steam/
