Spirograph on Athena

Several students have asked if there is a way to run the Spirograph
problem set on Athena. In order to do this you need to do the following.

1) After you log in to Athena, type:

add 6.096
/mit/6.096/.setup

2) This will create a 6.096 directory for you if you don't already
have one and will copy a file called Dummy.class into this directory.
To run the problem set you need to go to this directory (cd 6.096) and
type

java Main

the same way you did in lab.

The program runs a lot slower on Athena than it does on Windows, and
there are a few changes to the graphics (the checkboxes look a little
different etc.) but everything else should be the same.

Remember that the lab writeup is due on Monday.

Thanks,
