Open the &lt;PlayGo&gt;/PlayGo.ini file and update the Java VM path to: &lt;PlayGo&gt;\ jre6\bin\ (e.g. D:\PlayGo\jre6\bin\). Alternatively, if you have Java 6 installed on your machine, simple remove the '-vm' parameter from the &lt;PlayGo&gt;\PlayGo.ini file. PlayGo will use your System properties to access your installed Java.

==== Startup PlayGo ====
 
To start PlayGo, go to your &lt;PlayGo&gt; directory and double click the PlayGo.exe file. As it is in Eclipse, PlayGo will ask you for the workspace to start with. Choose the workspace provided with the installation (i.e. &lt;PlayGo&gt;/workspace/).
 
  
The &lt;PlayGo&gt;/workspace/ contains 4 projects:

Welcome to PlayGo, a comprehensive tool for behavioral, scenario-based, programming, built around the language of live sequence charts (LSC) and its Java derivative, and the play-in/play-out methods for programming and execution.

PlayGo is intended to provide extensive support for the vision of "liberating programming"

A description of the LSC language and the basic research underlying PlayGo can be found in D. Harel and R. Marelly, Come, Let's Play: Scenario-Based Programming Using LSCs and the Play-Engine.
For more information about the principles of behavioral programming, which were originally part of the basis of LSC, and for links to the implementations of behavioral programming in Java and Erlang, see www.b-prog.org.
