Accessing the interactions

This tutorial will show you briefly how to access the detailed interaction results corresponding to the tournament.

To access the detailed interaction results we create a tournament as usual (see :ref:`creating_tournaments`) but indicate that we want to keep track of the interactions:

>>> import axelrod as axl
>>> players = [
...     axl.Cooperator(), axl.Defector(),
...     axl.TitForTat(), axl.Grudger()]
>>> tournament = axl.Tournament(players, turns=3, repetitions=1)
>>> results = tournament.play(keep_interactions=True)

If the play method is called with keep_interactions=True, the result set object will have an interactions attribute which contains all the interactions between the players. These can be used to view the history of the interactions:

>>> for index_pair, interaction in sorted(results.interactions.items()):
...     player1 = tournament.players[index_pair[0]]
...     player2 = tournament.players[index_pair[1]]
...     print('%s vs %s: %s' % (player1, player2, interaction[0]))
Cooperator vs Cooperator: [(C, C), (C, C), (C, C)]
Cooperator vs Defector: [(C, D), (C, D), (C, D)]
Cooperator vs Tit For Tat: [(C, C), (C, C), (C, C)]
Cooperator vs Grudger: [(C, C), (C, C), (C, C)]
Defector vs Defector: [(D, D), (D, D), (D, D)]
Defector vs Tit For Tat: [(D, C), (D, D), (D, D)]
Defector vs Grudger: [(D, C), (D, D), (D, D)]
Tit For Tat vs Tit For Tat: [(C, C), (C, C), (C, C)]
Tit For Tat vs Grudger: [(C, C), (C, C), (C, C)]
Grudger vs Grudger: [(C, C), (C, C), (C, C)]

We can use these interactions to reconstruct axelrod.Match objects which have a variety of available methods for analysis (more information can be found in :ref:`creating_matches`):

>>> matches = []
>>> for index_pair, interaction in sorted(results.interactions.items()):
...     player1 = tournament.players[index_pair[0]]
...     player2 = tournament.players[index_pair[1]]
...     match = axl.Match([player1, player2], turns=3)
...     match.result = interaction[0]
...     matches.append(match)
>>> len(matches)
10

As an example let us view all winners of each match (False indicates a tie):

>>> for match in matches:
...     print("{} v {}, winner: {}".format(match.players[0], match.players[1], match.winner()))
Cooperator v Cooperator, winner: False
Cooperator v Defector, winner: Defector
Cooperator v Tit For Tat, winner: False
Cooperator v Grudger, winner: False
Defector v Defector, winner: False
Defector v Tit For Tat, winner: Defector
Defector v Grudger, winner: Defector
Tit For Tat v Tit For Tat, winner: False
Tit For Tat v Grudger, winner: False
Grudger v Grudger, winner: False
