The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

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.
