Cool project! Anyone trying to run it on *nix will need to open Main.java and replace all instances of the windows-specific file separator "\\" with "/".

It should be using the java.io.File.separator[0] constant for platform independence.

For future reference, just using slash ("/") will work for both Windows and Unix systems (linux and OSX)

Yes, Windows treats both "/" and "\" as separators. Just make sure you handle the edge cases.
