Home of open source creativity scripts for the Southbeach platform. Southbeach is unique software that creative people use to design, innovate, solve problems, drive change and create new ideas. Add rules to your Southbeach Modeller that generate insight from any model. Share the output generated with colleagues, or give them a copy of your rules and let them benefit from Your Creativity in any model they are working on.
Southbeach Modeller
How To
This blog assumes familiarity with Southbeach Modeller.
Write rules in the Creativity panels of any Southbeach model. The rules are stored with the model. Alternately, write rules in text (.txt) files. Store them in the My Documents/Southbeach/MyCreativity folder.
At start up, Southbeach Modeller scans all files, extract the rules and display them in a hierarchy which reflects the names you have given them. Use the check boxes in the hierarchical Creativity panel to turn rule sets on or off as required.
Click around the model to trigger rules to fire. The selected agent or effect becomes the focal point for analysis and interpretation of the output.
