+Create a compiler for the C language
+====================================
+
+Your program should accept C source code on
+`stdin` and write a heirarchical representation on `stdout`.
+
+Input Format
+------------
+
+The input format is C90.
+
+Output Format
+-------------
+
+The output format should be MIPS1 assembly code.
+
+It should be possible to assemble and link this code
+against a C run-time, and have it execute correctly
+on a MIPS processor.
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+
+Your compiler should be built using:
+````
+make bin/c_compiler
+````
+and the resulting program should be called `bin/c_compiler`.
+
+The target environment remains Ubuntu 16.04.
+
+Deliverables
+------------
+
+There are actually three deliverables here:
+
+1 - The compiler itself
+
+2 - A test framework
+
+3 - Documentation
+
+There are certain requirements on test and a format for the
+documentation, but we'll elaborate on those when they are
+encountered in the course.
