Description

YAACS is an artificial chemistry simulator, centered around petri nets.

This project includes a webserver, written in OCaml, as well as a web client, written in Rescript.

Setting up

You will need a working OCaml developping environment, ideally set-up with opam. Dune is used as a build system.

OCaml libs dependancies

See output of dune build

Building and running

Running dune build @local_install will output the yaacs_server binary as well as the client and some data into the ./dist directory. You can then launch the program with

cd ./dist
./yaacs_server

By default, the server will be accessible on http://localhost:1512.

Run ./yaacs_server --help to see available options.

Build the server

Run dune build

Build the client

Rune dune build @client

Dev mode for the client

• Run yarn install from the root dir to install the dependancies.
• Run bsb -make-world -w to build rescript files into javascript (watch mode)
• From .src/gui/client, run yarn server to serve the built files
• Run the server
