## Getting Started

To run this code, you'll need [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/) installed.

Install dependencies:

    $ npm install

With Fadecandy server running, start the `main.js` file:

    $ cd src/

    $ node main

## Running the OPC simulator

To run the simulator, first download and build OpenPixelControl:

    $ git clone https://github.com/zestyping/openpixelcontrol.git

    $ cd openpixelcontrol/

    $ make

Then from the `joylight/` directory, run the simulator pointing to the star layout:

    $ ./openpixelcontrol/bin/gl_server ./assets/star_layout.json

Now when running the `main` script, pass the `SIMULATOR` environment variable because the light layout is slightly different in the simulator:

    $ cd src/

    $ SIMULATOR=1 node main

And that's all!  Hurray!
