This is a limited version of Billiard King,
designed to work specifically with the
Penrose kite.   The main version of Billiard
King is much more extensive, though it does not
specially treat the Penrose kite.

You need a Java compiler to compile the program.  
You compile it using the command

javac *.java

Once you have compiled the code, you run it by typing

java BilliardKingPenrose

This will cause 5 windows to pop up:

1. a documentation window  (read this first!)
2. a main control panel (killing this window kills the whole program.)
3. the Tiling window.
4. the Arithmetic Graph Window
5. the torus Window

Except for the main control panel, these windows are
all resizeable.  All the control panels have little
question boxes. If you click on the question boxes, you
can read the documentation about the functions
associated to the control panel.
