This is a snowflake simulator written in python by Rachael Holmes and Giles

Hall.  It builds realistic looking snowflakes by modeling the phase

transistions between water molecules at a mesoscopic scale.  The model is

lifted (verbatim) from "MODELING SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH II: A mesoscopic lattice

map with plausible dynamics" by Janko Gravner and David Griffeath.

Requirements:

    - PyPy (for fast execution of the simulations)

    - PIL for exporting graphics (PyPy accesible)

Requirements for Laser Cutting:

    - Python only (no PyPy support)

    - PIL (Python accessible)

    - potrace (For translating SVG)

    - scipy/numpy (For clustering)

Requirements for 3D Printing:

    - PyPy or Python

    - PIL (PyPy/Python accessible)

    - potrace (For translating SVG)
