Open Source Eyebrow Pong

Guide to installing and running the open source version of eyebrow pong.

This open source iteration of eyebrow pong allows two users to play pong against one another on one of the players screens. It requires that player to facetime the person to see what is going on, (not ideal! but) this is an example of how to incorporate internet of things through the use shiftr.io within Processing.
