This is a 3D explorer for Soar's Spatial Visual System.
It is a JavaFX-based rewrite of Joseph Xu's svs_viewer. The application is built as an installer
for all major platforms, so clients do not need to worry about Java configuration.
This application was put together rather quickly, and I was learning JavaFX in the process. I've tested it on am M2 MacOS, but it still needs to be tested on other platforms.
To learn more about Soar's Spatial Visual System, see the Soar Manual chapter here: https://soar.eecs.umich.edu/soar_manual/08_SpatialVisualSystem/.

We use google-java-format to format the source files.
For IntelliJ, install and configure the plugin, and enable "Reformat code" under the "Actions on Save" setting.
The main class to run is SvsViewerApplication.
Running in IntelliJ has been broken since adding a non-module dependency. The error is:
