Lessons from the Prisoner's Dilemma
An Interactive Tutorial on "The Prisoner's Dilemma PD is a simple game in which there is a tension between individual interests and the common good. It has been studied in Economics, Philosophy and Machine Learning, and its lessons are potentially crucial for understanding human relations, evolution and morality." I have written about it before. The unique feature of this site is that it will allow you to create and save an html and javascript version of the game for use on your own web site using the
Iterative Game Generator. Nice..
