# README_curses_main.md
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
`curses_main.py` is a terminal-based interface for the Copycat program that provides a visual representation of the analogical reasoning process using the curses library. It offers a real-time view of the system's operation, including the workspace, slipnet, and coderack.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Run the program from the terminal with the following command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python curses_main.py abc abd ppqqrr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
- `initial`: The first string in the analogy (e.g., "abc")
|
|
- `modified`: The second string showing the transformation (e.g., "abd")
|
|
- `target`: The third string to be transformed (e.g., "ppqqrr")
|
|
- `--focus-on-slipnet` (optional): Show the slipnet and coderack instead of the workspace
|
|
- `--fps` (optional): Target frames per second for the display
|
|
- `--seed` (optional): Provide a deterministic seed for the random number generator
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Interactive terminal-based interface
|
|
- Real-time visualization of the Copycat system's operation
|
|
- Option to focus on different components (workspace or slipnet/coderack)
|
|
- Configurable display speed
|
|
- Detailed logging to `./copycat.log`
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
- Requires the `copycat` module
|
|
- Uses `curses` for terminal-based interface
|
|
- Uses `argparse` for command-line argument parsing
|
|
- Uses `logging` for output logging
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- The program can be interrupted with Ctrl+C
|
|
- The display is automatically cleaned up when the program exits
|
|
- The interface provides a more detailed view of the system's operation compared to the standard command-line interface |
