Batch Scripting

Windows

Rather than start these one by one, I made a way to turn these all on at once. There might be a more elegant way to do this, but I just clumped together something basic.

Make one file metasim.bat

`@echo off :start echo Starting web.js nodes!

start "window1" /min cmd.exe /c webhexplanet.bat

start "window2" /min cmd.exe /c terrainRE.bat

start "window3" /min cmd.exe /c agentRE.bat

start "window4" /min cmd.exe /c bodiesRE.bat

start "window5" /min cmd.exe /c cloudRE.bat`

Then for each of the above lines, create the associated child bat:

`@echo off

:start

echo Starting cloud reference engine web.js node!

cd C:\Users\iontom\Documents\GitHub\cloudReferenceEngine

:: npm install

node web.js`

I found it's easier to run the npm installs separately. Please let me know if there is better way!
