Category:Evolutions Tutorial Project

Motivation
This is an example of the evolution of the project development beginning from the initial idea till the today status. A very easy game has been chosen as the basic idea. We do not know the initial name of this game so we call it Polyline.

Each development step represented as the release, so you can see step by step the evolution of the application. Each release expands the functionality of the application, moving along the way the code is extended, modified and restructured or only restructured and modified.

Looking carefully on the code of each release you can see technique of the using of the Visual Prolog and advanced tools. It can be used to study the Visual Prolog features.

Game Rules ...

Before you start
The set of tutorial projects Polyline is the part of the VipSpbSDK. VipSpbSDK - is the set of tools to develop applications based on Visual Prolog from Prolog Development Center A/S



To build and study projects of series you must install Visual Prolog programming system

The reference information regarding the features depending on the vesrion of the Visual Prolog and version of the VipSpb SDK please see in the Version Reference. Short information regarding each release may be found in the table below.

Building notes
Releases 1-7 projects may be easily created by copying the code directly from the wiki pages. Since Release 8 you need to download the set of projects.

Releases 1-9 projects may be built one by one without any tricks.

Since Release 10 all projects use SpbSolutions IDE variable, which must refer to the VipSpbSDK directory.

Since Release 11 some projects demonstrate building libraries, thus user must have Microsoft lib.exe program tool (see details in the release appropriate Readme.html file).

Some Projects since Release 13 demonstrate and use the DLL creation. So these projects must be built using VIP CE only (please see details in Version Reference).

Projects placed to the Release 14 (Polyline14) PzlBasedApplication folder need to run the registration procedure after building all projects placed to the Containers directory. This must be done using the Programs\pzlBasedApplication\RegisterComponents.cmd command file.
