#Kelpy

KELPY is the Kid Experimental Library in PYthon

##Installation Put this library somewhere--mine lives in "/home/piantado/mit/Libraries/kelpy/"

Set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to LOTlib/:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/piantado/Desktop/mit/Libraries/kelpy

You can put this into your .bashrc file to make it loaded automatically when you open a terminal. On ubuntu and most linux, this is:

echo 'export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/piantado/Desktop/mit/Libraries/kelpy' >> ~/.bashrc

And you should be ready to use the library

##About The basic approach of Kelpy is to handle simple animations and things, taking care of the main refresh-display loop in pygame, and letting us just construct sequences of object actions and handle events. Future work will handle fancier counterbalancing, etc.

Kelpy is a work in progress, so please be mindful that some demos and classes may not function as intended just yet!
