Very nice tour for a language I've never seen before, good job. Would be nice to see a quick "Why would I want to use CLIPS?" section as part of the intro for others new to the language and expert systems.

Thanks! Really good feedback. I'll be adding on to this overtime, and this would be a great addition.

Games are the easiest analogy because they describe their features as "rules," but I've seen Rules Engines/Expert Systems reveal themselves organically across multiple domains. Try applying the concept of "Rules" that trigger when data in your system matches a certain pattern.
