An Implementation of Argument Based Discussion

 

 

Those are very basic instruction for the use of the program.

In order to start a game:

1. open an argumentation framework. You can find a couple of examples in the program folder. In order to load one, just use the menu File --> Load and browse for the correct file;
2. once loaded a framework, you should see the list of arguments of the framework in the Arguments&Input frame. Choose an argument and question it;
3. once questioned an argument, you can choose whether accept the application’s opinion or discuss it. If you start discussing, you can choose next argument to use in the discussion from the Arguments&Input frame, selecting it and pressing the ‘Discuss’ button;
4. if you need to view the loaded framework or its extensions, just use the menu ‘Framework’ or ‘Extensions’;
5. the menu ‘Help’ offers this introduction and the ‘What’s happening?’ dialogue, which explains, during a game, what type of game is going on and why.
