I don't think that startProcess should clear the agenda, as you may have ongoing rule executions that are seperate from the ruleflow, or even monitoring the various ruleflows that are running.

Are you happy for me to continue with the work? I can plug a Factory in to do as you describe. It depends upon your dead-line for "examples"...
 
As a side, calling WorkingMemory.startProcess(xxx) doesn't clear the agenda so anything previously scheduled gets run along with the process. Is this by design?
 
If so, documenting it (yep, I appreciate where everyone - "the community" - is with that) would have prevented my head scratching last night!

No I only did agenda groups. Key part to the "port" is to share code, so we still have examples for agenda-groups, don't want to loose those. Probalby create a factory of some sort to abstract away the parts in conway that do any rule stuff, so a switch can specify whether the factory is ruleflowgroup or agenda groups.

Hi Michael.

I think Mark was working on a "stateful" conways example (the old was stateless) - I wasn't sure if he got to using ruleflow (just check first).

Ruleflow is probably very useful to most people who would have used agenda-groups - agenda-groups are a stack, which is not intuitive to most people, but ruleflows are more imperative, so examples showing that are appreciated. I would almost go as far as to say that *most* of the time when you want control, you want ruleflow (you will know if you want agenda). Correct me if I am wrong, ruleflow is new to me !

Just to let you know I am updating the example to use ruleflow (it looks like one or more rules are wrong too as the "glider" doesn't glide, so I'll have a look at these also).

Doesn't look particularly taxing so should have it done very soon - provided the wife doesn't complain that she's not seeing much of me in the evenings ;-)

With kind regards,

Mike
