+// This file is here to show you how to start The Sound of People. 
+// At some point in the future this file can - hopefully - just be run with sclang and The Sound Of People will be managable by GUI completely
+// Go to https://opensnp.org/genotypes and download the file you'd like to use. So far only the parsing of 23andme files has been implemented (sorry).
+// The instructions below show an example on how to use the file
+
+// Parse a file, write a new one to disk (after this you should recompile your class library/ restart sclang)
+(
+// parse a new file from opensnp.org
+~parser = SNPParser.new("/tmp/1.23andme.9");
+// get a SNPDict
+~dictionary = ~parser.readFile;
+// write the SNPDict to file
+~file = SNPFile("/tmp/1.tsop.snp");
+~file.writeFile(~dictionary);
+)

+// Starting the SuperCollider server and reading the file

+  // read the file

+  // this is the number of positions you'll be able to play
+  ~dictionary.positions;
+  // shown meter and server window
+  s.meter;
+  s.makeWindow;
+  // create 8 channel audio setup with 2 hour playtime from the dictionary of SNP objects
+  ~audio = SNPAudio.new(~dictionary, 8, 2, true, []);
