I work for a broadcast company that uses Flash to build educational games and learning tools. As a part of my own education, I've begun to learn prolog, and have taken an interest in AI. I'd love to be able to combine the two! Me four!

I also came here when searching for "ProLog in ActionScript". I have some experience with Flex and AS3, and am currently considering learning Java for clinical decision support systems programming. Java has the advantage that it has some AI libraries from ProLog. And as I am working on Mac, I want something that is cross-platform, for development as well (yeah, Mono, I know... could do it for C#) Anyway, the Flash player is much more widely distributed than Java VM for applets, of JavaFX as a modern alternative. So for that reason, ProLog in AS3 (or future versions) would make sense in my opinion. Pieter Kubben, MD Dept of Neurosurgery Maastricht University Medical Center The Netherlands And that’s three!

I want to use prolog as scripting language for game prototypes. The goal is to make it so you can run prolog either inside or outside of a flash-based game engine. You may want to catch design bugs in your game at the logical level (just in terms of abstract mechanics), or simply iterate on your computational prototypes without having to get the concrete representations (graphics, physics) working each time. The "qualitative simulation" code can be come the "rule logic" of your playable prototype if you can get flash to run inference over the rules. I'm skipping over all of the technical details that actually make this a reasonable thing to do, but you get the idea. I implemented a basic resolution engine in HaXe before finding your post. Given your suggestion, I've traced down the prolog cafe project and am considering moving my whole project to Java (giving up faster load times in exchange for tasty opengl performance). I want my prototypes to be redistributable across platforms, so the Janus route is out. I’ve got another reason for connecting prolog to actionscript, a weird one to be sure.

Jejejej, are you sure nobody would want to connect prolog to actionscript?? :D Searching through Google to see if it is possible I have finished here. I want to connect Prolog to ActionScript!!! The reasons: 1. I know ActionScript. 2. I know a bit of Prolog. 3. I have done a Prolog translator from numbers to written-in-words numbers (in Spanish). 4. I teach Spanish. Thus, I can build a Flash miniapplication for my students to learn and practice numbers in Spanish, by entering a number and obtaining how it is said :) Jejej I will post the result. By the moment, thank you very much!!!!! “”"Of course the reason why this person wanted to do it will likely remain a mystery and my guess is no one else will want to “connect prolog to actionscript in flash”, so the usefulness of all this is somewhat questionable.”"”
