Long description

Playing Descent 3 using the Nix package manager is a little bit awkward
at the moment. This wrapper makes it slightly less awkward. Here’s how
you use this wrapper:

1. Install the `descent3` package, or start an ephemeral shell with the
`descent3` package.

2. Find the documentation folder for `descent3-unwrapped` by running this
command:

    ```bash
    nix-instantiate --eval --expr '(import <nixpkgs> { }).descent3-unwrapped + "/share/doc/Descent3"'
    ```

3. Open `<descent3-unwrapped-doc-folder>/USAGE.md`.

4. Follow steps 1–6 of Descent 3’s usage instructions.

5. Change directory into the `D3-open-source` folder:

  ```bash
  cd <path-to-D3-open-source>
  ```

6. Start Descent 3 by running this command:

    ```bash
    Descent3
    ```
