+VVhitespace is descended from Whitespace, adding a vertical tab to the language
+along with some restrictions to ease implementation. VVhitespace code is
+represented with the *whitespace characters* `[Tab]`, `[VTab]`, `[Space]`, and
+`[Newline]`. All other characters are considered commentary.
+
+This repository includes several distinct parts:
+
+ - A compiler, `vvc`, accepts human-readable VVhitespace source code and
+ translates it to true VVhitespace code.
+
+ - An interpreter, `vvi`, accepts true VVhitespace files as generated by `vvc`
+ and executes them according to the rules in `reference.md`.
+
+ - A library of useful functions including enhanced stack operations, printf,
+ math operations including random number generation, heap operations, string
+ manipulations and user interactions, and bitwise logic functions. See the
+ `stdlib/README.md` for more details.
+
+ - Hunt the Wumpus, a text game in which you explore a randomly connected set
+ of caverns, avoiding deep pits and giant cave bats, all while shooting
+ arrows at a Wumpus that wants to eat a tasty, meaty human like yourself! The
+ cave entrance is rumored to be near `examples/hunt-the-wumpus/README.md`.
+
+ - Examples including code commentary that demonstrate VVhitespace and the
+ stdlib. See individual subdirectories under `examples/` for details.
+
+ - Tests for both the VVhitespace language and the stdlib. Intended to
+ increase confidence for users that want to tinker with the internals, both
+ test suites come with a README explaining how to run the tests and extend them
+ as necessary. To execute all tests, simply run `make test` in the top level
+ directory.
+
+From this point forward, READMEs will assume you have a basic knowledge of
+VVhitespace (or at least Whitespace). The file `reference.md` provides a short
+but comprehensive language reference copied largely from the original
+Whitespace language tutorial.
