#Limelight

Limelight is an open source implementation of NVIDIA's GameStream, as used by the NVIDIA Shield.
We reverse engineered the Shield streaming software, and created a version that can be run on any Android device.

Limelight will allow you to stream your full collection of Steam games from your Windows PC to your Android device,
in your own home, or over the internet.

[Limelight-pc](https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-pc) is also currently in development for Windows, OS X and Linux. Versions for [iOS](https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-ios) and [Windows Phone](https://github.com/limelight-stream/limelight-wp) are also in development.
