While I'm not a prolog programmer, some here are prologgers, and so they deserve a thread (I too have dabbled in it from time to time)

Feel free to ask questions or post code here, someone will be sure to answer your questions speedily Wink

What do you mean by prolog? Prologues that come before a game, or the <?xml prolog line in web pages?

If it's the second, I hate them. Nobody has any real reason to use quirks mode, anyway. It got outdated a decade ago Tongue

This: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog

I know a few members such as Qwerty are extremely fluent in this language, so it merits a thread for them Wink

I never heard of that one. At first I even misread the topic title as Pronog discussion and help.

I know prolog and had to learn it for my compilers class.  Its probably one of the coolest languages ever since its so radically different than any other language I've ever seen.  Basically, you tell it rules about what a function should do and it will automatically find the algorithm to produce that solution!  It takes a while to get used to though since its such a huge paradigm switch.

Well, we used it for typing, which is assigning types to variables through inference rather than user specification.  Its also great for relational databases (like SQL) and it definitely has a lot of application with artificial intelligence and extracting meaning from sentences.

Prolog sounds cool. I'm gonna have to take a look at it once I get through my LISP book.
Logged




So, yeah, I have a blog now. Nothing special, just your average ghost town.

Spoiler for Projects:
Spoiler for Pokemon TI:
Map engine is going to be redone from scratch, since I was lacking in organization last time. With a project as big as Pokemon, planning and organization is key, so that will probably be the brunt of the work done on this project for the time being.

Spoiler for Nostalgia:
Being worked on. Nothing really new to put here, but it's being worked on.

Spoiler for Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack.

Spoiler for Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Currently on hold. I am unsure of whether this will remain DCS7 Hybrid BASIC or if it will use Batlib, Grammer or perhaps Axe.
This may see more progress once a demo of Nostalgia is released.

That's pretty unique. I've never heard of a language that worked that way before. Interesting.

I've tried Prolog before, and it's pretty interesting Smiley
While we're on declarative languages, Haskell's cool too.
