Advanced Behavior Oriented Design Environment (ABODE)

ABODE is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Behavior Oriented Design (BOD). It is now still in beta mode (despite it's numbering scheme.) Use it at your own risk!

ABODE has been (and is being) written by:

Steve Gray of Cobalt Software (September-December 2005)

with sub-elements were sub-contracted by Steve to Simon L. Jones, and

James Nugent (January-June 2006), with
Jakub Gemrot assisting on the debug code (from April 2006).

...all under contract to Joanna Bryson, who was in turn supported by an anonymous contractor.

Downloads

ABODE requires Java 1.4 or above.

As of April 2010, ABODE is on SourceForge.
Javadoc.
The Change File is currently out of date (so is the wish list) sorry!
Known Bugs and Bug Reports

Sadly, other than Javadoc, there's no documentation yet... but Steve did draw some figures:

Modular File Reading

Known Bugs in Current Version (1.5)

If you do export picture on windows, you get a mess. It works on everything else, we have no clue why not on windows.
Things resize/zoom when you enter values for variables in the lower right window.

See also the wish list, though it is currently (22 May 2006 (or earlier)) out of date (many things are fixed.) You can now report bugs on the ABODE SourceForge page.

Plans for someday

Get the debugging really working (may be a total rewrite).
Work with new version of POSH (SPOSH -- strict slip stack).
Documentation.

History

Steve also gave me a development history of screen shots; if you are kind of geeky you might enjoy it. I did.
