-# interpreter
-
-This is a small program intended to help with testing the 6502 CPU, or running programs on it.
-
-The expected input is machine code written in plaintext.
-
-The program assumes you will write statements correctly so it doesn't waste time checking that you put four digits in instead of three. If you are using this I assume you know what you are doing.
-
-The program accepts stdin, so it can be used in two ways.
-- Typing instructions inline.
-- Piping a file in with cat.
-
-## Instructions
-
-To express the syntax of instructions, here are some valid examples to express LDA $01:
-
- a901
- A901
- A9 01
-
-If you downloaded my project on Github, I have included a PDF called `opcodes_reference.pdf` which has a table with every legal opcode in it.
-
-Statements can be seperated or on a single line. For instance,
-
- a901
- p
- q
-
-Can be written as
-
- a901pq
-
-The only case in which this should be avoided is after an M/m command.
-
-## Debug Commands
-
-The interpreter comes with multiple statements for the purpose of debugging the emulator.
-
-`Q/q` Quits the program.
-Will cause segfault at end of file if not used.
-
-`R/r` Resets the virtual computer.
-
-`P/p` Dumps processor state.
-
-`M/m` Prints out memory.
-There are two forms which memory can be printed.
-The first is `sXX` where `XX` is a memory page. The whole page of memory is printed onto the screen.
-The second is `sXXXX` where `XXXX` is a specific address. This prints out the value of the 1 byte requested.
-Be aware that unallocated memory will be dumped if it happens to be accessed with this command. Also be aware that there should be a newline directly after this command.
-
-`S/s` Directly set a piece of memory.
-Syntax is strictly of form `sXXXX.xx` where `XXXX` is the address and `xx` is the value.
-
-`/` Prints until newline.
-
-`#` Ignores until newline. \ No newline at end of file
