== Synopsis Zyps - An AI library for building games. == Description Zyps are small creatures with minds of their own. You can create dozens of Zyps, then decide how each will act. (Will it run away from the others? Follow them? Eat them for lunch?) You can combine rules and actions to create very complex behaviors. == Requirements * Ruby: http://www.ruby-lang.org * Rake (to build from source): http://rake.rubyforge.org == Installation Make sure you have administrative privileges, then type the following at a command line: gem install zyps == Usage Ensure wxRuby is installed and working: gem install wxruby At a command line, type: zyps_demo == Development Source code and documentation are available via the project site (http://jay.mcgavren.com/zyps). Once downloaded, change into the project directory. For a list of targets, run: rake -T To build a gem: rake To see the demo: rake demo To create a "doc" subdirectory with API documentation: rake rdoc Also see "bin/zyps_demo" and the "spec" subfolder in the project directory for sample code. == Thanks Glen Franta, Scott McGinty, and so many other math, science, and computer science teachers whose names I've forgotten. Nothing I do today would be possible without your efforts so long ago. Alex Fenton and Mario Steele for wxRuby advice. My lovely wife, Diana, for patience and usability testing. == Author Copyright 2007-2009 Zyps Contributors == License Zyps is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
