If anybody else read this and, like me, immediately wanted an implementation of it to play with, the closest I could find was a part-implemented cljs version here: https://github.com/asolove/Sketchpad https://github.com/asolove/Sketchpad
Does anyone know of a fully implemented graphical editor that supports constraint satisfaction like this?
- zephod 12y agoWhen I was an undergraduate at Cambridge we built one during 2006 in a team of six people working under Alan Blackwell (the preface-author of the paper linked above). Now it appears on HN and I cannot find the source code anywhere :-|
- Animats 12y agoIf there's an implementation around, someone should convert it to a browser application. More people need to see the original Sketchpad. It was better than most of its successors.
- DonHopkins 12y agoThe Geometers Sketchpad was inspired and named after Sutherland's work, and has been around for quite a while. I remember it blowing my mind blown in the early 90's, running on the Mac. If it hasn't already been done, it would make a lot of sense to port it to JavaScript so it runs nicely in the browser. http://www.dynamicgeometry.com/ http://www.dynamicgeometry.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geometer%27s_Sketchpad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Geometer%27s_Sketchpad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interactive_geometry_software http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_interactive_geometry_so...
