Team

Everyone interested in this project is welcome to join our mailinglist es-vision@origo.ethz.ch

IDE

If you want to load the vision2 library you should use Eiffel Studio 5.6 as running any vision2 project on Eiffel Studio 5.7 ends in a segmentation fault and the up to date versions can't read any acex files yet. Linux:

  • You find the vision2 ace file in the subdirectory /precomp/library/spec/linux-x86/vision2/

Windows:

  •  ?

I tried as well opening the 5.6 library in 5.7 (as the 5.7 IDE is more advanced) but didn't succeed...

Communication

We agreed to communicate via IRC (orwell.freenode.net/es-vision). For Windows user there are different programs available. For example:

Linux user (for ex.) one of the following

  • xchat
  • irssi (console-app.)

after downloading and installing, you can connect to a server with the command 

/server <serveradress>

where <serveradress> is (for ex.) orwell.freenode.net (more freenode servers).
