The PPW is written using the processing programming language. One very nice feature, is that it can create a transferable application (using Java) for different platforms.
There is a 2D version and a 3D version for the visualization part of the app. Depending on your setup, you may find one or the other runs better on your machine.
2D version
3D version
Running
- When you have downloaded the .zip file, uncompress it using the tool of your choice (unzip, StuffIt).
- This creates a directory called (depending on which you downloaded).
app_ppw_2D_<OS> app_ppw_3D_<OS>
Linux
- Go into this directory and run the executable.
cd app_ppw_2D_linux ./ppw_3D
Mac OSX
- Go into the app_ppw_2D_macosx/app_ppw_3D_macosx directory.
- In here, you should see an Application (actually it's directory) called ppw_2D.app (or ppw_3D.app) Double click on the icon/name to run the program.
Windows
- Go into the app_ppw_2D_windows/app_ppw_2D_windows directory.
- In here, you should see an executable called ppw_2D (or ppw_3D). Double click on the icon/name to run the program.
