The Development of an Intelligent Graphics Interface for the RESA (research Evaluation Systems Analysis) Wargaming Simulation Terminals: A Proof of Concept

Abstract

Comparisons have been made between many different methods of command input for wargame simulations. Much has been said and written about the relative merits of using a visual interface, menu and 'mouse' input method for command input to various wargaming simulations. This document, which is the actual command interface program as implemented on an ATARI ST desktop computer, is Proof of the Concept that a 'visual interface' as applied to the Research Evaluation Systems Analysis (RESA) simulation, is possible, given the complex command structure of RESA. Keywords: Visual interface, RESA, ATARI, Computer graphics, Wargame simulation, Computerized simulation, Input output devices. (KT)
