The Raman machine collects a spectra and saves it to a file. The game then is to use that data to identify the mineral.
A program was written in 1993 (over 25 years ago!) in Fortran 90. This program is called "Crystal Sleuth" and runs on Windows systems (and Windows systems only).
I thought it would be interesting, and perhaps useful to write a program that performs the same functions using the Python language. For lack of a better name, I am calling this "Turbo Sleuth".
