Project Description
IGUS: Information Gathering and Utilising System. An IGUS has two parts: The first part is a worldview which is an evolving functional representation of the physical world and the second part is a goal that evolves and seeks an answer within the worldview.

Published Source Code may supersede latest release code.

Supersedes 0.6.2.0

Source code checked in, #32815

dionliddell — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 10:47:25 GMT

Incorrect coding for halting corrected. Working on yet another new way of scoring worldview this time the worldview and goal tie together through goal steps and worldview predictions. Not yet complete in this release.

Source code checked in, #32632

Seems to be running OK with new scoring mechanism now in WorldView.

Source code checked in, #32510

dionliddell — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 11:51:35 GMT

Latest lot of changes are in. Coded new scoring algorithm for worldviewa: now using immediate previous number of snapshots laid down on tape at once for each snapshot being scored. Compiles but falls over. Will try and get working version out by Saturday.

Source code checked in, #32460

dionliddell — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 09:41:14 GMT

Won't yet compile but within next couple of days hope to finish off changes to worldview to allow it to process a chunk of snapshots at a time when calculating score.

Updated Release: IGUSLibrary 0.6.2.0 (Mar 16, 2009)

dionliddell — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:38:58 GMT

Many changes. Main change of significance is that the WorldView class now has a brand new way of trying to prevent convergence to a 'best average' or 'repeating' WorldView function.

Are we there yet? No.

Installation

Copy IGUSLibrary dlls to project folder
In project browse to and add IGUS.dll as a reference
Create a class that uses IGUSLibrary and inherits IGUS
Override the RealWorldOutput and RealWorldMovement methods
Separately, create a MissionDelegate to direct the IGUS Goal
Instantiate your IGUS using the (many) parameters
Call the Cycle method until done
Take a look at the LinearIGUS example for a better understanding of usage

Released: IGUSLibrary 0.6.2.0 (Mar 16, 2009)

Stopped WorldView from converging on an average by penalising for using the same predicted snapshot twice in a row when wrong.
