This project is an experimental application framework for designing visual psychological experiments. It is based on a model that includes, experiments, blocks, trials, graphic objects, timing handlers, and response handlers. The framework is written in C++, but most components are scriptable in Tcl.

Included is a significant new C++ API wraps around the Tcl C API to make it easy to add scriptability to new components. Rather than using preprocessing or macros to expose C++ classes to Tcl, I have tried to stay within the C++ language, using templates and inheritance to provide the meta-class information to Tcl, with very little additional code being required of client classes in order to provide this meta-level access.

Here are a few starting points into the framework:

• TUTORIAL
• README

• link dependency graphs showing physical structure of code

• nub::ref_counted and nub::ref_counts
• nub::object
• nub::ref and nub::soft_ref
• nub::objectdb

• tcl::command
• tcl::call_context
• tcl::pkg

• Field
• rutz::value

A recent snapshot of the source code should be available here.
