ai9414 0.1.2

Interactive teaching demos for AI search, logic, planning, CSP, uncertainty, and tokenisation.

AI9414

ai9414 is a Python teaching toolkit for interactive artificial intelligence demos. It opens small browser-based visualisations for search, logic, uncertainty, constraint satisfaction, planning, and tokenisation, with simple installed commands that are easy to use in class.

It currently includes fourteen ready-to-run demos:

• labyrinth DFS search
• office delivery DFS search
• spatial graph DFS search
• spatial graph BFS search
• spatial graph greedy best-first search
• spatial graph A* search
• spatial graph uniform-cost search
• spatial graph branch-and-bound search
• propositional logic DPLL
• reasoning with uncertainty belief-state explorer
• foundation models tokenisation explorer
• CSP map colouring
• CSP delivery time-slot assignment
• STRIPS planning

Available demos

• propositional logic DPLL Start with ai9414 demo logic-dpll
• reasoning with uncertainty belief-state explorer Start with ai9414 demo uncertainty
• foundation models tokenisation explorer Start with ai9414 demo foundation-models
• CSP map colouring Start with ai9414 demo csp-map

Why use it

• one installed package with a small command-line interface: ai9414 ...
• browser-based visualisations with packaged frontend assets and no separate web build step
• curated examples for search, logic, uncertainty, CSP, planning, and tokenisation
• graph-search examples use conventional S and G labels for start and goal nodes
• Python APIs for loading custom problems and launching demos directly from code
• replayable traces for classroom walkthroughs and static solution export
• automated tests plus contributor documentation

Quick start

Install from PyPI:

uvx ai9414 demo graph-bnb

Install directly from this repository:

uv sync
uv run ai9414 list
uv run ai9414 demo graph-bnb

If your environment does not put console scripts on PATH, the module entry point works too:

uv run python -m ai9414 demo graph-bnb

To see the curated example names for a demo:

uv run ai9414 list --examples graph-dfs

For contributors

uv sync --extra dev
uv run pytest
uv build
uv run ai9414 demo graph-bnb

Direct example scripts

The scripts under examples/ are still useful when working directly in the repository, but they are no longer the main installed interface.

To start the labyrinth example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/labyrinth_demo.py

To start the delivery DFS example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/delivery_demo.py

To start the spatial graph DFS example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/graph_dfs_demo.py

To start the spatial graph BFS example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/graph_bfs_demo.py

To start the spatial graph greedy best-first example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/graph_gbfs_demo.py

To start the spatial graph A* example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/graph_astar_demo.py

To start the spatial graph uniform-cost example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/graph_ucs_demo.py

To start the spatial graph branch-and-bound example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/graph_branch_and_bound_demo.py

To start the DPLL logic example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/logic_dpll_demo.py

To start the reasoning-with-uncertainty example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/uncertainty_demo.py

To start the foundation models tokenisation example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/foundation_models_demo.py

To start the CSP map-colouring example directly from the repository:

To start the CSP delivery scheduling example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/delivery_csp_demo.py

To start the STRIPS planning example directly from the repository:

uv run python examples/strips_demo.py

The same install is enough for the labyrinth live-Python stub as well. The student download now uses the built-in ai9414.search.run_labyrinth_solver(...) wrapper, so no separate Flask setup is required.

To export a backend-free replay bundle:

PYTHONPATH=src uv run python - <<'PY'
from pathlib import Path
from ai9414.search import SearchDemo

app = SearchDemo()
output_dir = app.export_solution_bundle(Path("build/search-solution"))
print(output_dir)
PY

Suggested STRIPS exercises:

• Move the keycard from office A to office B and predict how the plan changes.
• Start the robot in the mail room and explain why collecting the parcel too early is a bad idea.
• Unlock the lab door at the start and identify which action disappears from the plan.
• Move the locked door to the office B connection and compare the new plan structure.
