MindModeling Toolkit

John Barker: Designer, Programmer & Author

MindModeling

Welcome to the PT mind-modeling project, a cooperative initiative that enables PT users to create and publish their own computer models of the mind.

PT's MindModeling Toolkit is the product of a collaborative arrangement between Prof. John A. Barker, the author of the ProtoThinker application, and Logic Programming Associates Ltd., producers of Win-Prolog, the leading Prolog programming system for Windows operating systems.

The toolkit enables PT users familiar with Prolog to modify and enhance PT's source code, to construct their own mind-models, and to turn them into stand-alone applications that can be distributed free of charge.


Contents of the Toolkit

  • PT's Source Code

  • A Developer Edition of Win-Prolog Version 4.6

  • Toolkit Help System:
    PT's Guide For Toolkit
    Win-Prolog User Guide
    Win-Prolog Programming Guide
    Win-Prolog Technical Reference Manual
    Win-Prolog Tutorials
  • Licenses authorizing use of the toolkit

MindModeling Achievement Awards

Toolkit users can submit their source code for a MindModeling Achievement Award. If the code qualifies for an award, it will be made available to other toolkit users, who can discuss it and build upon it.


Advanced Mind-Models

Toolkit users interested in creating more powerful and comprehensive mind-models can go to http://www.lpa.co.uk to learn about Version 5.0 of Win-Prolog and its extensive suite of programming tools. A detailed explanation of the features of this new version can be found at http://www.lpa.co.uk/win_det.htm.

Note: Many of the features of Version 5.0 are shared by Version 4.6, and code created for the latter version will be usable without extensive modification.
