+BrainAssembly is a language that compiles to Brainfuck. Similar to Assembly languages, it has simple syntax, and is designed to make Brainfuck easier to write code for. Enjoy!
+
+To run:
+
+- First clone this repository and install python.
+```
+git clone https://chookspace.com/DiamondNether90/BrainAssembly
+```
+
+- Next, run the following command to compile a .basm file to Brainfuck:
+```
+python3 src/main.py path/to/file.basm path/to/file.bf
+```
+
+This will create or replace the contents of path/to/file.bf with the compiled BrainAssembly code.
