Help Wanted!

Hello again!

The main power of the open source coding community is IMHO the large number of skilled coders, developers and webdesigners out there. This project is currently in need of some help from some of these people. You?

First and foremost a stable build system is needed. The plan is to use Cmake in order the have platform independence on every level. So if you know how to set up a system with cmake, please contact me and we can work out the details.

Secondly. This blog is hopefully temporary, and my hopes are to host the webpage and blog at the source forge page.

Can you do that? I would realy appreciate every help i can get with this. Again contact me.

Have a nice day :)

Development starting

Hello!

You are now looking at the blog for the open source library libSMAIL.
LibSMAIL or "SMall Artificial Intelligence Library", is an open source ai library. It's main use will be in games. But, anyone in need of some A.I. algorithms and techniques will find it useful.

The main project page is at source forge
and its there all files will be released. It also hosts the SVN server for the project.

The current plans on what to include in this project (at a first release) is:

* Feed Forward Neural Networks
* Graphs and various graph algorithms (Dijkstra, A*, some spanning tree algs and so on)
* Finite State Machines

Further more. I have found that many libraries out there provide reference pointers and vector classes. But for that you often need to include the whole library in your project. Something that make many programmers code the same thing over and over again. this ends NOW! ;)

With libSMAIL you will have easy access to both reference counted pointers and a generic vector library. Compiled as small static libraries that will be easy to include in your project with minimal overhead. I know you want it!

Anyhow. Stay tuned for more news and development updates. If you are interested in testing it right away check out the code from source forge and try it. Currently no organized build system is there but it includes a Eclipse/CDT build file. Contact me if you have any questions.
