This project simulated the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma from Richard Dawkins's book The Selfish Gene. It was produced in a day on a whim, and therefore is not particularly polished. It's still fun though!
The simulator has several behavioral strategies, all located in the strategies.py file. Included strategies are as follows:
- Random
- Always Cooperate
- Always Defect
- Tit For Tat
- Grudger
- Exploiter
- Burn The Bridge
Descriptions for each strategy can be found in the strategies file.
To use, download with git and run the run.sh script. Use these commands:
git clone https://www.github.com/tgsachse/prisoners
cd prisoners
./run.sh
If you would like to adjust any of the simulation parameters, edit the constants located at the bottom of the game.py file.
