*+*+›        ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE›          WITH  THE ATARI 8Bit.›        Submitted  by Jim Cutler›   LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND, 14th May 1993.›     Printed by OL' HACKERS A.U.G.›        -----------------------›› AT FIRST››      ARTIFICIAL  INTELIGENCE,  (known› hereafter as AI) in the early days of› computers   belonged  mostly  to  the› world   of  the  GIANT  Main  Frames.› However,the   language   created  to › address the  problems  of  Artificial› Intelligence  known    as   LISP-(an › acronym   for   LISt   Processing)-is› available  for your 8-bit. You didn't› know that, did you?›› THE ANSWER››       In   its   simplest  form  List› Processing  can  be  found  in  ATARI› LOGO. This  is  an  LCSI  version  of› LOGO,but    ATARI    marketed   their› cartridge  placing most  emphasis  on› Turtle    Graphics..Great   fun   for› youngsters in the Six to  Ninety  age› range, since the little screen Turtle› obeys input from the  keyboard,  such› as  right  40,  left  40,  back   10,› forward 10 etc.›› LOGO, IT HAS UNEXPECTED POWERS››      LCSI  Logo  includes  a   fairly› powerful  List Processing capability,› therefore, if you have LOGO you  can › begin  AI   using   LOGO    as   your› introduction.›› A STRONG LISP››      The major implementation of LISP› is to be found in  INTERLISP/65  from› ANTIC**THE  CATALOG**  and here you  › have       a       Powerful      LISP› interpreter,sample programs,  a  Lisp› Calculator and full documentation.›› A NEW EXPERIENCE›› If  you  are   looking  for something› quite   different   as    an    ATARI› Programming language then try LOGO or› LISP. It will help if  you  CAN  BEG,› BORROW  or,  (gasp) even BUY a simple› introduction to LISP  since the  docs› supplied   are  a   little   on   the› technical side.››               =<>=<>=
