this program is pretty cool i like the idea

however it involves a .jar file and i have no idea how to compile this thingy

only thing i could think of is it needs jre

if anyone can compile this thing it would be great

if java is installed and working properly, just clicking on the .jar file should run the program. You can find java in the ppm.

Hi again Morgonzola!
Make sure of have a jre version instaled and running properly.
Open a terminal from the path that hosts the jar file and write: That line should run the program (no compilation is really needed), but check it for errors messages if it doesn't work.

PS: This program its just a Processing script exported as executable, 'packed' as a jar file...

it really is an excellent find. Nice one morgonzola, as an add on to what GustavoYz says, you can right click on the .jar file, select 'set run action' , and then type in GustavoYz's java -jar so it looks like this then press the use command button. this will make all java files start automatically when you click on them.

Interesting program. Thanks.

alright well thanks guys much appreciated

now i know more abuot java stuff

two birds with one stone
