Prolog Basics Explained with Pokémon
The article, published on Unplanned Obsolescence, introduces Prolog through Pokémon examples. It explains core concepts: facts (e.g., type(pikachu, electric)), rules (e.g., evolves_from(charmander, charmeleon)), and queries (e.g., ?- type(X, fire)). The tutorial uses a Pokémon database to illustrate unification and backtracking. No specific dates or prices are mentioned; it's a free educational resource. The author assumes basic programming knowledge but no Prolog experience. The post includes code snippets and expected outputs, making it practical for beginners. It concludes by encouraging readers to experiment with their own Pokémon queries.
