About embarcadero mind machine

embarcadero mind machine (emm) is a library for running Github bot flocks. It is owned by the rainbow-mind-machine organization on Github.

Like all mind machines, embarcadero mind machine is simple and extensible.

How is embarcadero mind machine simple?

The mind machine framework revolves around providing a few simple components for building bot flocks:

• Keymaker classes
• Shepherd classes
• Sheep classes

But it gets even simpler than that: boring-mind-machine provides a GithubKeymaker class, so that embarcadero mind machine can focus exclusively on Shepherd and Sheep classes.

That's pretty simple!

What does embarcadero mind machine extend or do?

embarcadero mind machine is extensible to keep bots from becoming boring. There are a limited number of components to extend (2), these two components have a simple and clear function call order, and embarcadero mind machine tries to use sensible defaults.

That means we start out with bots that "just work" and we can incrementally improve, extend, override, or redefine behaviors to make them increasingly complex, while still abstracting away messy details.

How is embarcadero mind machine POOP-y?

The embarcadero mind machine library makes good use of concepts in Python Object Oriented Programming, or POOP.

The embarcadero mind machine library uses inheritance, because the entire library is built on base classes provided by boring mind machine.

Additionally, the whole way embarcadero mind machine works is to provide a set of useful classes, but also make it easy for users to write their own classes.

Everything is about classes.
