Sure. Although depending on the game you two plan, it will be a rather
large endeavour ;).

So, uh, what exactly do you want to know? Simply how to put a game
together with the current engine? Or information how everything works
together? Or something else?

For a better overview over the code (and basic documentation of some
parts of the core engine) you might want to create the code
documentation. Just configure with --enable-doc. See the INSTALL file a
bit further down for the details.

As said above, once I know what kind of information you want, I (or
somebody else) can provide that, no problem!
