## Executive Summary
2024-08-22 19:32:04 -04:00
This is a TUI abacus simulator. It is a completely pointless program. I
made it solely for the sake of the absurdity.
## Installation
This program is written in [Haskell](https://haskell.org) using the
Stack package manager. The easiest way to install it is by first
installing [GHCup](https://www.haskell.org/ghcup/), and then from
within the project directory, run the command: `stack install`
You should then be able to run it by simply typing `abacus` on the
command line. There are currently no command-line options.
