-# Project: tis100
+# tis100
 
+This is a Haskell implementation of an emulator for the Tesselated Intelligence System processor defined in the [Zachtronics game TIS100](http://www.zachtronics.com/tis-100/). It uses the assembly save format from the game and the layout and I/O specification defined in another [C-based open-source emulator implementation](https://github.com/Phlarx/tis).
+
+Thanks to [Derek Anderson](https://github.com/Phlarx) for the layout and I/O format spec and [Clara Schaertl Short et al](https://github.com/kk4ead) for the [best practices document](https://kk4ead.github.io/tis-100/).
