Ceptr provides a new computing stack for semantic self-describing data and protocols, which enables a new kind recomposable medium for distributed social computing.

There are currently no dependencies, so just clone this repo.

Then cd into the root directory of the repo and type:

make ceptr

This will build a ceptr node running the command-line receptor, which is currently very primitive, with just four commands "time" (which returns a Tick semantic tree) "receptors" (which lists the currently active receptors) "debug" (which toggles debug mode) and "quit". more coming soon!

For some guidance on getting the code-base to compile on Windows using Eclipse see: https://github.com/zippy/ceptr/blob/master/ceptr-eclipse-csharp-interface.txt (Note: this hasn't been tested recently and is no longer in sync with the c codebase...)

TBD...

Also, see "Testing" below.

You can read the code and API documentation here: http://zippy.github.io/ceptr/

Or watch a brief overview webinar/video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Db-8lD1lNA

For a broad overview of the project see [the Ceptr Revelation] (http://ceptr.org/revelation/)

Or check out this prezi: https://prezi.com/raptqxuputwp/ceptr-tech-overview/

Or this longer presentation of that prezi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9ZhswdOm14

TBD..

To compile and run all the tests simply cd into the root directory and type:

make specs

This runs all of the tests, which live in the specs sub-directory.

The tests also produce a bunch of semantic trees dumped out to json for visualization in a testing web-app. To be able to see these, you need to place the contents of the "web" sub-directory into a web server somewhere, and then just point your browser to that directory. Please note that this isn't a comprehensive testing environment, just a space we've used for creating visuals for presentation purposes.

livecoding

• We use test driven development. Adding a new function or feature, should mean you've added a new test in the spec/ directory. Our [testing framework] (https://github.com/zippy/ceptr/blob/master/spec/test_framework.h) provides a bunch of C macros that test an expectation with a result, and nicely print broken tests when they fail. Check out any file in the spec directory to see how it's done.
• We use [Doxygen] (http:/doxygen.org) to generate our API documentation. Contributors are asked to use doxygen commenting blocks so that we can automatically generate documentation. Additionally we have the practice of using the @snippet command to include portions of our specs as examples in the API. We try to make our test cases meaningful so they can be so used and make good examples.
• Elements of Style: no tabs indentation (4 spaces). Note: if you are using emacs with prelude it specifically sets indent-tabs-mode to 't' in modules/prelude-c.el for c-mode so you have to fix that there.
