Simulating Prisoner's Dilemma
A recent Veritasium video sparked my interest in Game Theory, and I decided to try to implement some of the experiments in it.
When I was talking about this with a friend of mine, she incessantly pushed me to write an article about it in Marathi in a magazine. This is a post accompanying the article. I will only discuss the implementation in this post. I would highly recommend watching the Veritasium video before reading further. Derek has done a phenomenal job in this one.
The word “game” in game theory makes it seem that it is related to (possibly silly) computer or board games. But that is not true. In game theory, we create models which attempt to replicate real life situations in terms of rules and some scoring system to measure the outcomes. A “game” also has rules and a scoring system, hence the name.
Prisoner’s Dilemma is one of the famous games in game theory. You can read about it here.
We are going to implement an inverted version of this game. The rules of our game are as follows:
There are two players who can either cooperate with each other or defect. If both cooperate, they each get 3 points. If one cooperates and the other defects, the defector gets 5 points while the cooperator gets 0. If both defect, they each get 1 point.
Player 1 cooperates Player 1 defects Player 2 cooperates P1 - 3
P2 - 3P1 - 5
P2 - 0Player 2 deffects P1 - 0
P2 - 5P1 - 1
P2 - 1My plan is to implement a two player version first and then implement a multi-player version (which will be a new post).
