Build Pong in 13 minutes using JBoss Drools

Don't forget to set video settings to 720 or higher.

After the success of "Build a Graphical Adventure Game in 20 minutes using JBoss Drools : All Hail the Wumpus", http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CvjKq..., I had requests for a simpler game that moved at a slightly slower pace. Enter stage "Build Pong in 13 minutes using JBoss Drools".

The example is part of the Drools 5.4 release, going out the door as we speak. But you can also see it up on github:
https://github.com/droolsjbpm/drools/...

For the impatient, you can use nightly build below. I'll link 5.4 final once it's out

I blogged this recently, which people might also find intersting, for a wider view on things:

Thanks! And well done.

thanks.

I hope these videos show that rule engines are more than just "if" statements, and the declarative programming model is quite powerul and more general puprose than people probably realise.

Execution control is still difficult in rule engines, but we have plenty of ideas yet to tackle these things :)
