Quick Start
Note that you need to have Java (version 9 or later) installed on your computer. There are various ways to obtain and run FeynGame:
- Download the
feyngame executable,
move it to a directory which is in your path
(e.g.
~/bin), and simply say "feyngame" in a terminal window. - Or: download
FeynGame.jar,
then type "
java -jar FeynGame.jar" (or double-click FeynGame.jar). - On MacOS, you can also download
FeynGame.dmg,
double-click it, and move the
FeynGame.appto your/Applicationsfolder. You can now open the FeynGame app (e.g. via spotlight), or by placing the FeynGame icon into your Dock. Depending on your security settings, you may have to open System Settings>Privacy & Security and explicitly allow your computer to open the FeynGame app. This needs to be done only once though. - If you only have an ancient version of Java, you can also use this FeynGame.jar, this feyngame executable, or this FeynGame.dmg.
Model Files
By default, FeynGame assumes the Standard Model as the
underlying theory, with pre-defined line and vertex styles. Here we collect
a number of alternative model files. This list will be regularly updated.
| model file | Name | Remarks | Style |
|---|---|---|---|
standard.model | Standard Model | full Feynman rules; default model after 01 Jan 2024 | |
qed.model
| QED | full Feynman rules | |
sqed.model | Scalar QED | full Feynman rules |
