+* Shady Flag Library
+
+This is a library for parsing command line flags.
+Just include the .h file and you're good to go.
+Example:
+```int hello = flag_int("--testing", 420, "<something> Hello World");```
+This will put on the variable hello the value following the --testing command
+line flag, or the default value 420 if the flag is not present.
