	Getting CASA and iRobot code CPSC 601.68/599.68: Agent Communication Fall 2008	Computer Science

There are two methods of getting the source code for CASA and iRobot; both are described below. If you choose to download the jar files instead of linking to the project(s) using SVN, be forwarned that there will be occasional updates to the JAR files that you may need to re-download.

Note that there is some code in that is full of compile errors in the download. These are directories that need to be cleaned up in the future, but fortunately, you will not need them. In case they are not marked as excluded from the build path in your download, they are:

• iRobotCreate/SerialIO_rxtx.java (in fact, you may need this one if you are working on Windows -- see the iRobot Create documentation)
• casa/policy/bdi/
• casa/policy/reactive/

Download the jar file

You can download a complete copy of CASA, including CASA code, the iRobot Create agents, and source code for all this, as a JAR file, iRobotCreate.jar. You will also want the unix bash script, iRobot.src, to run the jar. If someone makes a Windows .bat file for this before I get around to it, I'd appreciate a copy to post here.

Get it from the Subversion repository

The easiest way to download is to use eclipse to create a project called iRobotCreate2 as a new project from SVN at URL https://forge.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/svn/research/ksg/iRobotCreate2. You will also need to either download the project for CASA at https://forge.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/svn/research/ksg/casa/trunk, or download the CASA jar and re-configure the iRobotCreate project to use the CASA jar (casa.jar) instead of the CASA project.

To use this method, you will need to have a CPSC account (this statement may no longer be true).
