+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+[email protected].
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

+# Contributing guidelines
+
+All efforts to contribute to Tyrian are welcome and encouraged, as the project can only be better with more eyes looking for problems and more minds trying to solve them.
+
+All contributions must be inline with our code of conduct.
+
+Ways to contribute:
+
+## Reporting issues
+
+Think you've found a problem? We'd like to hear about it!
+
+How to report via the [issue tracker](https://github.com/PurpleKingdomGames/tyrian/issues):
+
+> Please raise ONE TICKET PER ISSUE.
+
+1. Try and search for similar issues currently open.
+2. If you can't find an issue, raise a new one.
+3. Please try to describe a minimal scenario that reproduces the issue.
+
+## Updating documentation
+
+Game engines are complicated, especially for new people, and so are only as good as their documentation. If you like to help update our docs, please raise a Pull Request against the [documentation website repo](https://github.com/PurpleKingdomGames/tyrian-website).
+
+## Writing code for Tyrian
+
+Tyrian is complicated and the main authors have a roadmap for it's direction. Having said that, we do want people to feel empowered to join in!
+
+Please consider the following:
+
+1. Only fix one thing at a time.
+2. Small, easy to digest, minimal change Pull Requests are the easiest to merge.
+3. Discuss, discuss, discuss. The bigger the change, the more critical it is to tell us what you're up to.
+
+> If you submit a huge, difficult to process Pull Request without having discussed it with the maintainers, we are under no obligation to accept your work.
+
+### Minor improvements
+
+Correcting a misleading comment? Spotted a couple of lines that look off? Adding tests to existing code without changing the code itself? Please go right ahead and raise a PR.
+
+### Larger changes
+
+Please raise an issue on the project, explain what you intend to do and indicate that you'd like to work on the fix.
+
+## Donations and sponsorship
+
+Contributions are based on time or money, and building and maintaining Tyrian requires both. If you'd like to help cover our costs, help pay for development or just buy us a cup of coffee, we'll be very grateful.
+
+Please look for the sponsorship button on the [tyrian github repository](https://github.com/PurpleKingdomGames/tyrian).
