Installation

1. Make sure you have the GTK+ libraries, version 2.10.11 or later:
• Windows: RGtk2 will automatically install GTK+ on Windows if necessary. To get the latest version, download and install the Gtk+/Win32 Runtime Environment from here (~6MB).
• GNU/Linux: GTK+ is usually included on desktop systems but may need to be updated.
• MacOS: a GTK+ installer is available from here (~25MB).
2. Install the playwith package from CRAN:

install.packages("playwith")

3. library("playwith") to load the package.

Type help("playwith") for details and examples.

Troubleshooting

If you are using R on Windows you may find the playwith window disappears behind the "RGui" window. To avoid that, set RGui to run in "SDI" mode via Edit > GUI preferences; or just minimise the RGui window.
