Original Manuals
Now available in a 190 page softcover book.
This document was provided in answer to many of the problems raised with the original texts associated with the development. This document is designed as a definitional manual. It is intended that this be used as a yard stick for further simulations and as a reference guide for those intending on bettering this effort. ...
History: the Simulation in Four Acts
Please consider the Noble Ape Simulation - in development - as a play of four acts. The initial Noble Ape Simulation development occurred prior to March 1997. There was a period of no development until March/April 2000 (this does not merit a section of the play). Then the Simulation was picked up and re-developed until June 2001 when I arrived in Stockholm. The third act covers the maturity of the software up to the renaming (from Nervana to Noble Ape). The final act carries on to the present day. ...
Introduction to Programming with the Noble Ape Simulation
The Noble Ape Simulation runs on a number of platforms through a number of different interfaces. The term platform here means major OSes like Windows or Macintosh and the term interfaces means command line interface, Noble Ape's Generic Platform Interface (GPI) or the colour Ocelot interface. ...
Graphics in the Noble Ape Simulation
This document has been written to demystify the structure of the Noble Ape Simulation graphics and offer methods of integrating the Noble Ape's graphics into your own development. It is important to note, this document is just an introduction to the graphics in the Noble Ape Simulation. ...
