The Power of Prolog

Its so nice to hear Prolog is alive and well. While at university I spent quite some time wrangling with it and grew to love it. So much problem solving smarts built into the runtime.

Here is my crowning achievement from back then in 1993 - a genetic programming simulator that evolved ants to follow pheromone trails in pure prolog.

Enjoy.

Nerd.

In 2005 I used Prolog to a solved pathfinding for competive maps in CS 1.6 based off weighted examples form interviewing a 'professionals' calls, even had a plugin architecture to extend each map, though it only worked well for Dust2 before I had to present. Way more practical. Cough.

That was fun. Now I want to find the code...
