Intended for people wanting to implement NAL7/8 in a different way. Users, better go to https://github.com/opennars/opennars to enjoy a system that has full NAL1-8 implemented.
In nars_core_java/ and nars_gui/ are the NARS core and the Swing GUI in Java. This came out of the code of Pei Wang in nars/ directory.
nars-dist/ contains a NARS distribution (executable, examples, web page with applet), that could be zipped for releases.
The test suite is nars_core/src/test/java/nars/main_nogui/TestReasoning0.java .
There are scripts for Linux and Windows to compile and create the executable jar: build.sh and build.bat .
The unit test suite is here. It ensures non-regression of the reasoner: nars_core/src/test/java/nars/main_nogui/TestReasoning.java It works classically: for each XX-in.txt in directory nars-dist/Examples, it runs NARBatch, and compares actual result with reference result XX-out.txt. To create a new test input, add the NARS input as XX-in.txt in nars-dist/Examples , run the test suite, and move result file from temporary directory /tmp/nars_test/XX-out.txt into nars-dist/Example . NOTE: Due to the sensitivity of results regarding the implementation of the reasonner, it is difficult to write robust tests. But for pure non-regression tests, the test is usable.
See also http://code.google.com/p/open-nars/wiki/ProjectStatus Current version has been fully tested for single capability at a time; there may still be bugs when combining capabilities. Jean-Marc Vanel was working on this roadmap, mainly in GUI and software engineering tasks :
- reestablish a non-regression test suite
- make an independant syntax verifyer based on a grammar parser : it will give the column & line of error (there is a Scala combinator grammar)
- separe NARS in 2 modules with a Maven build : nars_gui and nars_core_java
