Time
and Dimensional Reality
Technology Development Program
What
is the tmXxine console prototype?
Software
to control and augment multidimensional hardware
What
initial components will the console support?
Particle
reception
Particle/wave
projection
Topological
representation
Which
language is being used for the Console?
The
prototype Console will be constructed in a Java applet generated by NetLogo. An
early non working version is at the bottom of this page. May take
several minutes to load
Why
NetLogo?
Simple,
reliable, generates java
What
were you looking for in a language?
Beginner
friendly language such as Logo, Drape, Hand
AI
potential
Flexibility
How
was this decision arrived at?
We
are constantly evaluating languages
Commercial
languages such as Flex and Open Source such as MONO are awaiting completion and
may stilt the creative input we require
Why
did you choose this over Squeak and Curl
Carabunga!
NetLogo
has Turtle Power!
We
have not.
Both these
systems can still be incorporated in tmXxine pages and future projects
Netlogo
is being used for the prototype because of ease of use (LOGO is available for
programmers as young as two)
Logo
is a subset of Lisp and is an easy introduction into AI programming
Why
is the language so important?
A
soup is only as potentially good as its ingredients. We are very much orientated
to an inclusive methodology and have kept the use of language quite loose
What
are the current Goals and priorities?
Create
a wiki
Create
animated logo
Create
newsletter
Prototype
the most likely hardware that requires software - the self generating machine
Disassembling
the future
