extGame: Zero-sum game

In EcoVirtual: Simulation of Ecological Models

Description

Simulates a zero-sum game between two competitors with a fixed amount of resource.

Usage

extGame(bet = 1, total = 100, tmax = 2)

Arguments

bet	bet size of each competitor on each time.
total	total amount of resource.
tmax	maximum game time.

Details

A zero-sum game is a mathematical representation of a situation in which a participant's gain (or loss) of resource is exactly balanced by the losses (or gains) of the resource of the other participant(s). If the total gains of the participants are added up, and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero.

Value

'extGame' returns a graphic with the amount of resource of each competitor on each time.

'extGame' also returns an invisible vector with the results of the loser on each time.
