Demonstrating the properties of Visual Prolog language and simple programming techniques, including:
|goalContent=
* The generating of random numbers;
* The Class Interface;
* The use of the same interface in different classes;
* The use of facts-variables;
* The generating a simple exceptions;
* The simple exception handling;
* The use of constants.
|code=
Compare to [[Tutorial Project. Release 1]]:
** Models of behavior of a human and of a computer built as dynamic classes;
** Predicates explicitly related to the user interface placed to a separate class;
* In this version used field size 6x6 pixels.;
* Due to an inefficient algorithm for the computer game field size more than 36 cells (6x6, for example) to install not recommended.
|functionality=
* If the machine makes the first move, it makes it randomly;
* If model has no obvious secure move, then it makes it randomly.

{{note|content=
The size of the field is 6x6.<br\>It is not recommended to set the size of the field more than 36 points (say 6 x 6) due to the non efficient algorithm used
}}
 
The strategy of the computer behaviour adopted from the  [[Tutorial Project. Release 1]] (written by Elena Efimova).
 
Differences (relative to version 1):
* If the computer makes the first move, then it is done random
* If computer can not find the successful move, then it is done random (even if it is extremely bad)
* The human and computer models are object-generating classes
* Predicates, which relate to the human-machine interaction grouped to class HumanInterface
 
To run the game please make the steps as follows:
 
*Create the new project with the User Interface strategy Console
*In the created project replace the entire content of the file "main.pro" by the code shown below (VIP 7.1 is still there below)
*While building the project answer "Add All", when any dialog with proposals to include any packages to the project appears

Written by Victor Yukhtenko. Email: victor@pdc.spb.su

The programs listed below are part of the Evolutions Tutorial Project article.

Game Rules ...

Goal

Demonstrating the properties of Visual Prolog language and simple programming techniques, including:

  • The generating of random numbers;
  • The Class Interface;
  • The use of the same interface in different classes;
  • The use of facts-variables;
  • The generating a simple exceptions;
  • The simple exception handling;
  • The use of constants.

Functionality

  • If the machine makes the first move, it makes it randomly;
  • If model has no obvious secure move, then it makes it randomly.

Code

  • Tested with Visual Prolog 7.3 build 7302.

Compare to Tutorial Project. Release 1:

    • Models of behavior of a human and of a computer built as dynamic classes;
    • Predicates explicitly related to the user interface placed to a separate class;
  • In this version used field size 6x6 pixels.;
  • Due to an inefficient algorithm for the computer game field size more than 36 cells (6x6, for example) to install not recommended.

Install

To get the full set of projects of the series of the Polyline projects, please download archives using links at PDC forum:

  • VipSpbSDK_PE_73_Examples_Polyline_1_14.zip
  • VipSpbSDK_PE_73_Tools_Polyline_1_14.zip]

to any convenient directory. The directory named VipSpbSDK will be created automatically.

If you have the VipSpbSDK installed, then please open project Examples\Polyline\Polyline2\Polyline2.prj.

If you do not have the full set of examples from the VipSpbSDK, then please do as follows:

  • Create the new project using the interface strategy console
  • Build the project
  • Replace the content of the file "main.pro" by the code proposed below.
  • Build the project again. While building the project please respond “Add All”, when there will be the proposal to include additional packages to the project.

Run

Run the application using the “E” of the IDE or run the executable at the directory EXE.
