#### Worthwhile projects
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to work on the engine, there's things that would be worth
|
||||
improving:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Better arithmetic in actions
|
||||
2. Better arithmetic in conditions - it would be useful to be able to say _'if generation is more than 64 - y then state should be snow'_. This would make the ice retreat in the right direction in the iceage rule set.
|
||||
3. Better error messages when rules don't parse, explaining where the problem occured _(very hard)_.
|
||||
4. Make this all work in ClojureScript in the browser, so there's less load on the server and one server can support more users _(quite hard)_.
|
||||
5. Optimisation: MicroWorld runs quite slowly, you can't really do big maps and one server won't support many users. There must be many ways performance can be improved.
|
||||
|
||||
If you make changes which you think improve MicroWorld, please [mail them to me](mailto:simon@journeyman.cc).
|
||||
|
||||
Have fun!

### Representation of rules
|
||||
|
||||
Rules are just ordinary Clojure functions (can be anonymous functions, and in the current
|
||||
rule-sets they are) which take two arguments, a cell and a world, and return
|
||||
either nil (indicating the rule did not fire), or a new cell which should have
|
||||
the same :x and :y properties as the cell passed in. Any other properties can
|
||||
be different.
|
||||
Rules are simple production rules, in a [grammar](docs#grammar) defined in the
|
||||
documentation. Each rule is compiled into a Clojure anonymous function of two
|
||||
arguments, **world** and **cell**, which if its conditions are met returns a
|
||||
new cell which must the same **x** and **y** values as the cell which was
|
||||
passed. Any other properties may be modified.

The 'state' classes are defined in a CSS file 'states.css', which should be

### Run in the browser
|
||||
|
||||
Currently the simulation runs on the server and only the display is in the
|
||||
browser. It would be much better converted to ClojureScript and run in the browser
|
||||
- that would save both network traffic and server load, and would allow the
|
||||
animation to run faster.
|

|

### Rule language
|

|
||||
It would be good to have a near-English rule parser to make rules easier for
|
||||
children to add and modify.

should be stored in the directory 'img/tiles', be in PNG format, and have a

name comprising the name of the state followed by '.png'.

Two middleware functions are provided by default in the `mw-ui.middleware` namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
* `log-request` - logs all requests using the debug level
|
||||
* `template-error-page` - provides friendly formatting for Selmer errors in dev mode
|
||||
|
||||
See the `:middleware` key of the `app` definition located in the `mw-ui.handler` namespace to manage the enabled middleware.

## Lesson plans
|
||||
|
||||
I haven't actually written any lesson plans, since I'm not a teacher and that
|
||||
isn't my skill. If you use MicroWorld in class, and find it useful, and would
|
||||
like to contribute a lesson plan, please mail it to [me](mailto:simon@journeyman.cc).
|
||||
|
||||
Ideally your lesson plan should be written in 'markdown' style, the very simple
|
||||
style which is used in this document and other documentation within the program,
|
||||
but frankly it doesn't matter - I'll accept them in any format, including hand
|
||||
written notes or even (gasp) Microsoft Word.

<h2><a name="teachers">For teachers</a></h2>
|
||||
<p>MicroWorld was written in the hope that it would be of use for teachers,
|
||||
including teachers in primary schools. The reason for attempting to write
|
||||
a very simple rule language was that young people would be able to create
|
||||
their own rules and rule sets.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Classroom setup</h3>
|
||||
<p>MicroWorld will run on a Raspberry Pi, and I plan to produce a
|
||||
downloadable SD card image which auto-runs it. One ideal classroom setup
|
||||
would be to have one Raspberry Pi running MicroWorld to every group of
|
||||
two or three children.</p>
|
||||
<p>MicroWorld will also run on any ordinary PC, including Windows,
|
||||
Macintosh and Linux machines. I plan to produce a packaged installer
|
||||
for each operating system.</p>
|
||||
<h4>Servers and clients</h4>
|
||||
<p>MicroWorld is a web-app, which means it runs in a web server and the
|
||||
user interface is a web browser. It would be possible to arrange a
|
||||
classroom with one copy of MicroWorld on a single server, and each child's
|
||||
machine running MicroWorld from that single server.</p>
|
||||
<p>However, performance isn't very good, and unless you have an unusually
|
||||
powerful server you may find that when a full class of pupils are running
|
||||
MicroWorld from a single server performance may be frustratingly poor.
|
||||
Check your performance before introducing a class to it, and if in doubt,
|
||||
running a separate copy on each machine used by children may well be more
|
||||
satisfactory.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Subject areas</h3>
|
||||
<p>One of my main objectives in writing MicroWorld was to create a system
|
||||
which would be engaging for children and would enable them to see
|
||||
computing in the context of other subject areas.</p>
|
||||
<h4>Geography</h4>
|
||||
<p>Maps of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the Isle of Man, are included
|
||||
in the distribution; however, only the 'small' version of the map of
|
||||
Great Britain and Ireland is really useable, the others are too big and
|
||||
will be two slow. However, you can cut a map of your local area from the
|
||||
larger maps if that is helpful to your class.</p>
|
||||
<p>The following rulesets are of potential use in geography teaching:</p>
|
||||
<dl>
|
||||
<dt>basic</dt>
|
||||
<dd>A very simple ruleset which simply establishes vegetation in the
|
||||
landscape. Not particularly useful in itself, but a good ruleset for
|
||||
children to use as a basis for their own projects.</dd>
|
||||
<dt>iceage<dt>
|
||||
<dd>illustrates ice thawing gradually. Because of inadequacies in the
|
||||
rule language, currently the ice retreats from north to south, which is
|
||||
of course wrong for the northern hemisphere; but the principle of
|
||||
retreating ice, the way in which ice retreats up mountains, and the way
|
||||
in which ecosystems establish themselves.</dd>
|
||||
<dt>ecology</dt>
|
||||
<dd>Attempts to model the effects of browsers and predators - represented
|
||||
by deer and wolves, respectively - on the landscape.</dd>
|
||||
<dt>settlement</dt>
|
||||
<dd>illustrates human settlement appearing first on coastal promontaries
|
||||
(e.g. kitchen-midden people), gradually spreads inland (in this model as
|
||||
nomadic pastoralists), and forms permanent settlements where conditions
|
||||
are favourable. This helps explore why the towns in your locality are
|
||||
where they are. The model is obviously simplified, but produces a
|
||||
potentially useful account of settlement in at least north-western Europe
|
||||
from paleolithic up to at least late bronze age. <b>Note</b> that unless
|
||||
your map has at least some coastal promontaries this ruleset will need
|
||||
to be modified.</dd>
|
||||
<dt>
|
||||
</dl>
|
||||
<p>All of these rulesets are deliberately simple. This is so that
|
||||
children have something to start with, but so that they can actually make
|
||||
real, demonstrable improvements quite simply.</p>
|
||||
<h4>History</h4>
|
||||
<p>The <em>settlement</em> ruleset is probably the best starting point for
|
||||
history exploration. As described above, it essentially covers only
|
||||
pre-history; the development of the feudal system, for example, or of
|
||||
industrialisation, are not modelled. They could be, as (more advanced)
|
||||
class projects. Writing rules will enable discussion of why castles, or
|
||||
mills, are positioned where they are, and what the social consequences of
|
||||
these developments are.</p>
|
||||
<h4>IT/Informatics</h4>
|
||||
<p>Obviously, any of the rulesets but particularly the <em>gameoflife</em>
|
||||
ruleset are good introduction points to informatics lessons. The rule
|
||||
language is sufficiently simple that introducing children to writing
|
||||
their own rules can begin almost as soon as basic literacy is
|
||||
established.</p>
|
||||
<p>In more advanced IT lessons, at the upper end of primary school or in
|
||||
secondary schools, I would encourage you to explore modifying the engine
|
||||
itself in your classes.</p>
