Primer: Simulating the evolution of rock, paper, scissors
Over the last few months, we have focused on the game theory. We have recently even looked at adaptive strategies in repeated Colonel Blotto games. Another approach to adaptation phenomena is evolutionary game theory. Video by Primer is an excellent illustration of this fascinating branch of game theory. So, let us see how the players' strategies evolve when playing the classic "rock, paper, scissors" game. Players will play the game multiple times and learn from their experience. Though notably, here, learning will be indirect. Instead of individual, the simulated society will evolve based on the performance of different strategies. Can you guess the evolutionary trajectory of the simulated society?
