Starting Webots
> webots
Programming your own controllers
Make a copy of the /usr/local/webots/controllers/ directory
in you home directory and update the Webots preferences, so that Webots will
search your controllers directory for controllers. Then,
for example, you try to recompile and modify with the simple.c
program. To compile your programs, go to the program directory and type make.
Then , relaunch Webots to take into account your new controller.
