+# Spritely
+
+Spritely is an editor that allows you to easily create sprites for Gameboy
+Advance (GBA) and Nintendo DS (NDS) programming projects. It is designed
+specifically for programmers who are just starting out in GBA/NDS game
+development.
+
+Spritely is best described as a simple paint program that allows you to create
+a set of foreground/background sprites and screen maps. It also includes an
+"Export..." option that creates a complete GBA/NDS project - source code,
+makefile and all.
+
+In conjunction with [devkitPro](https://sourceforge.net/projects/devkitpro/) and
+an emulator like [VisualBoyAdvance](https://sourceforge.net/projects/vba/), you
+can easily create your own GBA/NDS games and get started in the wonderful world
+of homebrew.
+
+A set of basic tutorials is also available.
+
+For suggestions/bug-reports, go to the Issues tab and edit an existing entry or
+add a new one. Send other comments to ɯoɔ˙ןıɐɯƃ@ɔɐʞʎɹɐƃ - please include
+"spritely" in the subject line.
