Subject: [IMP] NUI-GUI for Bill-Bot
Hows about a New User Interface, Bill? The screen is a choice point in a maze ... for Visual Studio or Robotics Studio as well as Windows. To get the cheese, any mouse should be able to scamper through the maze successfully by following popup signs.
Each popup will contain an "icon" of Bill-Bot and since the word icon means "religious symbol" all duly reverent mice will bow down before going on to the next popup.

Upgrades of Bill-Bot will improve on the popups. Ultimate criterion for success of this Harvard Teaching Machine approach will be what? One trial learning? Is "zero trial learning" an oxymoron? What if the mouse can get the cheese the first time through the maze?
BTW, here's a question for Scientific American. Can one have a SW robot as well as a HW robot? If so, why not have Microsoft stick with what it does best and create new SW robots, starting with Bill-Bot?

Subject: [c-prog] Windows/Linux GUI development library
Hi- I'm currently looking at wxWidgets http://www.wxwidgets.org/ as a
way of writing C/C++ GUI programs that will run under Linux and
Windows. However, I'm open to alternative suggestions- does anyone
know of anything better?
BTW the application I'm writing is a log file viewer. The current
version is in C, and decodes and displays telecomms (WiMAX) equipment
messages using indentation to aid interpretation eg.
message 1
first field of message 1
an array in message 1
1st item in array
:
message 2
etc.
In the past I've written this sort of thing just for Windows in Delphi
and used a TreeView component to effectively replace the indentation
eg. initially
+ message 1
+ message 2
Click on + of message 1:
- message 1
first field of message 1
+ an array in message 1
+ message 2
etc.
I've 20+ years of embedded C experience, but not much C++ (yet), and
no 'real' Windows programming experience (Delphi simplifies things),
so the simpler the better.
Cheers
John

Machine Psychology has to do with machine substitution for the phenomena which are the traditional subject matter of psychology.
IMP is being taught according to the slogan of automated teaching: THE STUDENT IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
"Courseware" is being designed so that IMP will "stand alone" as a machine teacher without needing any further input from human teachers.
