PureBasic Forums - English

Is anybody here interested in artificial intelligence, especially expert systems?

I am planning to use an expert system shell, that is CLIPS ( http://www.ghg.net/clips/CLIPS.html ), with PureBASIC.

CLIPS has a dll, too (http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepage ... ipstuf.htm).

There are also some interfaces for CLIPS such as PyCLIPS (Python interface) but since I am a PB fan from now on ( ) I *WANT* to use PB, not another language (Python, Lua et cetera).

Any comments? Suggestions?

Sounds interesting. I wonder if it could be coupled with games?

there are some "Life" and "neuronet" examples in the codearchive under purearea.net if is any help

Using PB and CLIPS in games? Hmm... Sounds exciting. But I don't know an example of it. My goal is to build an expert system which is consisted of CLIPS as the inference mechanism and PB for user interface. Of course PB itself can be used alone for such a system but a shell will make things easier (if I can cope with the CLIPS' dll...)

Using PB and CLIPS in games?

CLIPS really isn't suited for game usage, unless, you're programming something like text adventure. Perhaps where an NPC might infer or divulge information given a number of inputs...

I've used CLIPS in some custom data mining applications and it's very useful.

A PB wrapper to CLIPS would be certainly useful in creating more user friendly interfaces...

I know that on Purearea.net there is a PB LUA library...

As a novice, I need your advices. In order to use CLIPS (or CLIPS.dll) together with PureBASIC, I am currently trying to learn how to use a dll from PB (http://www.xs4all.nl/~bluez/datatalk/pu ... i_and_dlls ). I started with CallFunction and will advance to prototypes. As far as I understand, there are CallFunction and CallFunctionFast but "the right way" is the prototypes, is that true?

Or do you have another recommendations upon PB and CLIPS marriage? Perhaps should I not use the CLIPS' dll. Are there alternative methods (a wrapper?) for constructing a system whose inference mechanism is run by CLIPS and interface is by PB?
