- `./gradlew run` runs the TemplateProgram (Use `gradlew.bat run` under Windows) - `./gradlew run` runs `TemplateProgram.kt` (Use `gradlew.bat run` under Windows)
- `./gradlew run -Popenrndr.application=MyProgramKt` runs `src/main/kotlin/myProgram.kt`
- `./gradlew run -Popenrndr.application=foo.bar.MyProgramKt` runs `src/main/kotlin/foo/bar/myProgram.kt` (assuming `package foo.bar` is used in myProgram.kt)
- `./gradlew shadowJar` creates an executable platform specific jar file with all dependencies. Run the resulting program by typing `java -jar build/libs/openrndr-template-1.0.0-all.jar` in a terminal from the project root. If your project contains multiple `main` methods, specify which one to run with `java -cp build/libs/openrndr-template-1.0.0-all.jar MyProgramKt`, where `MyProgramKt` can also be `foo.bar.MyProgramKt` if it's in the package `foo.bar`. - `./gradlew shadowJar` creates an executable platform specific jar file with all dependencies.

- `./gradlew jpackageZip` creates a zip with a stand-alone executable for the current platform (works with Java 14 only). Run it like this: `cd build/jpackage/openrndr-application/ && bin/openrndr-application`. - `./gradlew jpackageZip` creates a zip with a stand-alone executable for the current platform (works with Java 14 only).

## Run other Kotlin programs from the command line
By default `./gradlew run` runs a program called `TemplateProgram.kt` but a different one can be provided as an argument:
To run `src/main/kotlin/myProgram.kt`
./gradlew run -Popenrndr.application=MyProgramKt
