+This is a simple CHIP-8 virtual machine written in C.
+This project is mainly an exercise in emulator programming.
+
+CHIP-8 was an interpreted bytecode to allow games to be easily programmed
+for mid-1970s 8-bit microcomputers.
+
+Compiles with gcc or clang. Not tested on Windows.
+
+Requires SDL2 for input and rendering.
+
+Compile with `gcc main.c -lSDL2 -o chip8` on Linux. A sample is included, and can be
+loaded via `./chip8 Fishie.ch8`
