How to Run (Linux)

Currently only tested on Linux (Ubuntu 17.0.4) using Python 3.5.2

1. Install GLFW3 Development library on your system:

   $ sudo apt-get install libglfw3-dev
   

2. Install Python 3 virtualenv on your system:

   $ sudo pip3 install virtualenv
   

3. Initialise new virtual environment in root of project:

   $ virtualenv .env
   

4. Activate virtual environment:

   $ source .env/bin/activate
   

5. Install requirements:

   $ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   

You can then run the app from /src/main/python/main.py
