 Lua mergesort
+
+##Instructions for interpreting:
+
+Copy and paste the code in `mergesort.lua` into an online Lua interpreter. The following is confirmed to be functional:
+
+https://www.tutorialspoint.com/execute_lua_online.php
+
+You can also use the Minecraft mod ComputerCraft (or the modern version CC:Restitched); it is assumed you know how to run a modded installation using the Curseforge launcher or the MultiMC launcher.
+
+- Create a new world and obtain any kind of computer (this is easiest in creative mode)
+- Type `id` into the prompt and note the number.
+- Go into the world save folder and navigate to `computercraft/computers`, and paste `mergesort.lua` into the folder named as the computer's ID.
+- On the in-game computer, type `mergesort`. From here, it's just as though you ran it on an online interpreter.
+
+##Instructions for use
+
+Simply type a list of numbers separated by spaces, and press enter when you're done. The next line is a sorted list of numbers separated by spaces.
+**WARNING**: Inputting anything other than numbers will result in strange output. I do not have time to account for this.
