 # kodiak
 
+*Kodiak* is an implementation of [Klondike Solitaire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klondike_(solitaire)) for the[Uxn/Varvara ecosystem](https://100r.co/site/uxn.html) virtual machine.

-## getting started
+Currently *Kodiak* is very limited:
+
+ - Can't move cards from the foundation
+ - Must manually move every card
+ - No undo functionality
+ - No scoring or timing
+ - No music or animations
+ - No splash screen
+ - No buttons to restart or quit
+
+Future releases may relax some or all of these constraints.
+

+
+Building the Kodiak ROM requires a Uxn assembler:
 
 ```
-uxnasm kodiak.tal kodiak.rom
-uxnemu kodiak.rom
+$ uxnasm kodiak.tal kodiak.rom
+Assembled kodiak.rom in 10923 bytes(16.73% used), 253 labels, 0 macros.
 ```
+
+Running the Kodiak ROM requires an emulator. For example:
+
+```
+$ uxnemu kodiak.rom
+```
+
