===Download the ColorWall project===
You'll be writing graphical effects for an existing ColorWall project. Download this ColorWall code and example effects so you're ready to start working with it:
# Right click the following file, click "Save Target as..." or "Save link as...", and save it to your Desktop directory:
#* http://web.mit.edu/jesstess/www/BostonPythonWorkshop6/ColorWall.zip
#The ".zip" extension on the above file indicates that it is a compressed Zip archive. We need to "extract" its contents. To do this, find ColorWall.zip on your Desktop and double-click on it. That will create a folder called ColorWall containing several files.
===Test the ColorWall code===
Start a command prompt and navigate to the Desktop/ColorWall directory where the ColorWall code lives. For example, if the ColorWall project is at <code>/home/jesstess/Desktop/ColorWall</code>,
<pre>
cd /home/rubixcube/Desktop/ColorWall
</pre>
will change you into that directory (the "~" means your home directory!), and
<pre>
ls
</pre>
will show you the source code files in that directory. One of the files is "run.py", which has a ".py" extension indicating that it is a Python script. Type:
<pre>
python run.py
</pre>
at the command prompt to execute the run.py Python script. You should see a window pop up and start cycling through colorful effects. If you don't, let a staff member know.
Now type:
<pre>
python run.py -a -s
</pre>
at the command prompt to execute the run.py Python script so that it runs only the advanced effects. You should see a window pop up and start cycling through different colorful effects. If you don't, let a staff member know.
You can also run both sets of effects by typing:
<pre>
python run.py -a
</pre>
===Success!===
You've completed setup for the ColorWall project.
