threads - ping_pong

This folder contains a simple multi-threaded implementation of a ping-pong game using a thread per player and threaded notifications to communicate moves. The player threads are automatically terminated when the game is over.

When using XVM as the backend, this example must be run from the top-level interpreter.

Print Logtalk, Prolog backend, and kernel versions (if running as a notebook):

%versions

Start by loading the example:

logtalk_load(ping_pong(loader)).

Run example:

ping_pong::play(1).

<!-- Ping ... .... Pong Game over!

true. -->

ping_pong::play(5).

<!-- Ping ... .... Pong Ping ... .... Pong Ping ... .... Pong Ping ... .... Pong Ping ... .... Pong Game over!

true. -->
