The only way to look at the code is with the Max software, which you can download a trial version of. You can also run it and test it that way, which I would love for you to do! Just follow the tutorials in the README (as a side note, a couple things have probably changed in those tutorials by now for the better, such as not needing Python anymore). And yes, the changes absolutely do work! :) I test them daily while I'm working on the code and also every night when I playtest it for fun.
