README for Oyun

See the Oyun website: http://charlespence.net/oyun/

Oyun is a program you can use to run tournaments between various strategies playing normal-form games such as the prisoner's dilemma. The classic work on such tournaments is Robert Axelrod's The Evolution of Cooperation, and Oyun takes much inspiration from such tournaments.

Oyun allows you to create players, using a simple finite state machine syntax, and these players then compete in tournaments -- either one-off, round-robin tournaments or "evolutionary" tournaments in which strategies compete to increase their proportion in a "population" over a number of generations.

Installation

In general, if you have an appropriate version of wxWidgets and a normal set of userspace tools (such as on Linux, OS X, or MinGW), you should just be able to execute the usual configure, make, make install combo.

In detail, the compilation of Oyun requires:

• wxWidgets (preferably version 3.0+, and preferably statically-linked)
• Doxygen (for the compilation of the source-code docs)
• pandoc (http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/, for compilation of the manual)
• pdflatex (http://tug.org/texlive/, for compilation of the manual)
• zip (http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html, for compilation of the manual)

If you are building for Mac OS X, we require at least OS X 10.9.
