Game parameters

The list below describes only the few parameters related to the Prisoner's Dilemma, Snowdrift and Hawk-Dove games. Follow the link for a complete list and detailed descriptions of the user interface and further parameters such as spatial arrangements or update rules on the player and population level.

--paymatrix <a00,a01;a10,a11>

2x2 payoff matrix. Type \(A\) has index 0 and type \(B\) index 1.

--reward <a11>

the reward for mutual cooperation. The payoff of type \(A\) against its own type (see --paymatrix).

--temptation <a10>

the temptation to defect. The payoff of type \(B\) against type \(A\) (see --paymatrix).

--sucker <a01>

the sucker's payoff of an exploited cooperator. The payoff of type \(A\) against type \(B\) (see --paymatrix).

--punishment <a00>

the punishment for mutual defection. The payoff of type \(B\) against its own type (see --paymatrix).

--init <a,b>

initial frequencies of type \(A\) and \(B\), respectively. Frequencies that do not add up to 100% are scaled accordingly.

--inittype <type>

type of initial configuration:

frequency <f0>,<f1>...

random distribution with given trait frequencies, f0, f1,.... Note, only available for frequency based modules and models.

density <d0>,<d1>...

initial trait densities <d1,...,dn>. Note, only available for density based modules and models.

uniform

uniform random distribution, equal frequencies of all traits.

monomorphic <t>[,<v>]

monomorphic initialization with trait t. Note, for modules with variable population densities, the optional parameter v indicates the initial frequency of vacant sites. If omitted the monomorphic trait is initialized at its (estimated) carrying capacity.

mutant <m>,<r>[,<v>]

single mutant with trait m in homogeneous resident population of type r. The mutant is placed in a location selected uniformly at random (mutants arising through cosmic rays). Note, for modules with variable population densities, the optional parameter v indicates the initial frequency of vacant sites. If omitted the resident trait is initialized at its (estimated) carrying capacity.

temperature <m>,<r>[,<v>]

single mutant with trait m in homogeneous resident population of type r. The mutant is placed in a location selected proportional to the in-degree of nodes (temperature initialization, mutants arising through errors in reproduction). Note, for modules with variable population densities, the optional parameter v indicates the initial frequency of vacant sites. If omitted the resident trait is initialized at its (estimated) carrying capacity.

stripes

stripes of traits. Note, only available for 2D lattices.

kaleidoscopes

configurations that produce evolutionary kaleidoscopes for deterministic updates (players and population). Note, only available for some modules.

Note, for modules that admit multiple species, the initialization types for each species can be specified as an array separated by ;. With more species than initialization types, they are assigned in a cyclical manner.
