NetLogo extension: games

This tool provides a convenient way to define normal-form game-theoretic situations in NetLogo. Optimal points and Nash equilibria are calculated and returned to NetLogo in a well-arranged form. The following software packages were used:

• NetLogo 5.2
• Java 7
• Scala 2.9.3
• typesafe/config 1.2.0

• Gamut 1.0.1

The source code is found at https://github.com/JZschache/NetLogo-Extensions

Since ql is an extension of NetLogo, the latter must be installed first (NetLogo 5.2.1).

The games-extension is installed by creating a directory named games in the extensions subdirectory of the NetLogo program. All files from https://github.com/JZschache/NetLogo-games/tree/master/extensions/games have to be downloaded and moved to the newly created directory extensions/games. For example:

git clone https://github.com/JZschache/NetLogo-games.git
mv NetLogo-games/extensions/games path-to-netlogo/extensions

If the games-extension is used in combination with the ql-extension, the jars games.jar and gamut.jar must be added to the variable additional-jars in the file extensions/ql/application.conf:

netlogo {
  ...
  parallel {
    ...    
    # all additional jars that must be loaded by NetLogo
    additional-jars = ["extensions/games/games.jar",
                       "extensions/games/gamut.jar"]
    ...
  }
}

After starting NetLogo, a sample model from NetLogo-games/models can be loaded, e.g. NetLogo-games/models/two-pers-games.nlogo.
