Draw-A-Transit

This uses pygame (http://pygame.org) and matplotlib to let a user draw a limb-darkened star and a dark object, which is then moved in front of the star, producing a transit lightcurve and transit animation. An example assymetric lightcurve (from WTF star KIC08462852, http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.03622) is provided, prompting users to try to make the object fit the data. The lightcurve and occulting body shape is then saved to file.

An example of the resulting lightcurve is shown in DealWithIt.gif

Requisite modules: numpy, matplotlib, pygame. os
