View source for GSoC More AI interfaces

{{deprecated|this page is deprecated, spring already has many ai interfaces}}

= GSoC idea: More AI interfaces =

== Why ==
The Spring engine is already a popular engine for academic projects to study Artificial Intelligence. This project could enhance Spring's attractiveness to developers and teachers wanting to explore or teach about AI research.

== What ==
The Spring engine's AI interface supports bindings for multiple languages, currently C++, C and java are supported.

Bindings for more languages and/or virtual machines should be added to allow broader AI developing audience (for example: Ruby, Perl, JavaScript, Python, D, Go, Mono, LLVM, Parrot).

== Required skills ==
* Understanding of the Spring AI interface
* Knowledge of C
* Understanding of the target language/virtual machine

== Difficulty ==
Estimated: medium

== Technical details ==

The current C AI interface has been structured so it acts as a bridge between the engine and the various AI language wrappers, since automatic wrapper generators have been tried in the past and found infeasible, manual creation is necessary.
