 Having trouble with this :( should this be run in processing? If so - do I need to rename this as another file name? I did try - but I get errors. Was it an earlier version of processing than the one currently available.. do I use the withoiut java one?

rename it to a .pde file.

Did you manage to get everything running in step 6? If so then this should be straight forward.

I'm using processing 1.0.9.

What errors are you getting?

 okay so I managed to work out ow to extract the file by changing its name from a tmp file to a tar.gz and extracting it using 7-zip !  I now have the file open in processing - I'm getting a thing saying that "package III does not exist. You might be missing a library"

 good work, sorry I should have provided a .zip.

You need to install all the libraries detailed in the previous step. Have you followed those steps exactly? Can you see the lll directories that need to be created?

Let me know if that helps,

Matthew
