			==Software to get==
			(WILL NEED) Arduino--to write & install software on your Freeduino
			[http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-1.0.3-windows.zip]

			(Optional) Processing--write PC, Mac, Linux/Android applications that work alone or with your Arduino
			[http://processing.googlecode.com/files/processing-1.5.1-windows.zip]

			(Optional) Eagle PCB Layout--create circuit boards
			[ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/6.4/eagle-win-6.4.0.exe
			]

			You might also like SolidWorks (free for Speed students) or Sketchup (Free) for 3D prints

	The code works okay with the Serial Monitor, except it scrolls away so it can be hard to track what's happening with the little whack-a-mole symbols. Instead--you could have a Processing program turn the symbols into pictures. Download & install Processing from processing.org (very similar to Arduino except is generally for making programs on your laptop), unzip these files [http://www.lvl1.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/WhackAMoleScreen2.zip] and put them in your Processing sketch folder, plug in your Arduino running the Whack-a-Mole code and finally launch the Processing Whack-a-Mole screen program. For Windows users, if it doesn't connect, you might have to adjust the portName string from Serial.list()[0] to Serial.list()[1] or another number that connects with your Arduino.
