See the documentation for more detail on the Prolog features that L<AI::Prolog> currently accepts. =head2 Commands Commands specific to aiprolog shell: "% more" -- enables prompting for more results (default) "% no more" -- disables prompting for more results "% nomore" -- same as "no more" "% halt" -- stops the shell "% help" -- display this message Note that the percent sign must preceed the command. The percent sign indicates a Prolog comment. Without that, aiprolog will think you're trying to execute a prolog command. aiprolog-specific commands are case-insensitive. =head2 Typical session Save the following to a file named "append.pro": append([],X,X). append([W|X], Y, [W|Z]) :- append(X,Y,Z). Then load it into the C<aiprolog> shell by typing this at a shell: aiprolog path/to/append.pro Alternatively, once in the shell, you can load the program with: consult('path/to/append.prog'). In the shell, you should be greeted by a query prompt "?-". At this prompt, you can issue queries against the program. Try entering the following query: append(X,Y,[1,2,3,4]). The shell should respond with this: append([],[1,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4]) ; It should then appear to hang. It's waiting for you to type a character. If you type a semi-colon, it will attempt to resatisfy the query. If you keep doing that until there are no more valid results left, you'll see this: ?- append(X,Y,[1,2,3,4]). append([],[1,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4]) ; append([1],[2,3,4],[1,2,3,4]) ; append([1,2],[3,4],[1,2,3,4]) ; append([1,2,3],[4],[1,2,3,4]) ; append([1,2,3,4],[],[1,2,3,4]) ; No ?- The "No" is just Prolog's way of telling you there are no more results which satisfy your query. If you stop trying to satisfy results before all solutions have been found, you might see something like this: ?- append(X,Y,[1,2,3,4]). append([],[1,2,3,4],[1,2,3,4]) ; append([1],[2,3,4],[1,2,3,4]) ; append([1,2],[3,4],[1,2,3,4]) Yes ?- The "Yes" simply says that Prolog found results for you. =head2 The game If you are hoping to use this to play the bundled "Spider" game, I recommend the following: aiprolog location/of/spider.pro ?- % no more That disables the pause where the shell waits for you to hit a ';' to get more results or hit enter to continue. It gets very annoying while playing the game, though it's useful when you really want to program. Then issue the "start" command (defined in "spider.pro"). ?- start. =cut
