Abstract

In this paper we describe a rule based approach to online game development. Our goal is to ease the evolution of an online game by allowing far reaching change in gaming scenarios after game deployment has occurred and during game play. This is achieved by making use of a rules based engine (Drools) within the JBoss platform. We use a simple gaming scenario to demonstrate how far reaching change is possible without the difficulty of altering program code when rules are separated out from other application level logic.
