Along the bottom of the applet there are several buttons to control the execution and the speed of the simulations - for details see the VirtualLabs GUI documentation. Of particular importance are the parameters button and the data views pop-up list along the top. The former opens a panel that allows to set and change various parameters concerning the game as well as the population structure, while the latter displays the simulation data in different ways.

Data views

Structure - strategy

Snapshot of the spatial arrangement of strategies.

Mean strategy

Time evolution of the strategy frequencies.

Simplex

Strategy frequencies plotted in the simplex . If no calculation is running, mouse clicks set the initial frequencies of strategies and stops the calculations otherwise (for the ODE solver it switches to backwards integration).

Phase plane 2D

Frequencies plotted in the phase plane spanned by the population density () and the relative frequency of cooperators (). Again, mouse clicks set the initial frequencies of strategies, stop the simulations or switch to backward integration

Structure - fitness

Snapshot of the spatial distribution of payoffs.

Mean fitness

Time evolution of average population payoff bounded by the minimum and maximum individual payoff.

Fitness histogram

Snapshot of payoff distribution in population.

Game parameters

The list below describes only the parameters related to the public goods game and the population dynamics. Follow the link for a complete list and descriptions of all other parameters such as spatial arrangements or update rules on the player and population level.

Interest
multiplication factor of public good.
Cost
cost of cooperation (investment into common pool).
Lone cooperator's payoff
payoff for a cooperator if no one else joins the public goods interaction.
Lone defector's payoff
payoff for a defector if no one else joins the public goods interaction.
Base birthrate
baseline reproductive rate of all individuals. The effective birthrate is affected by the individual's performance in the public goods game and additionally depends on the availability of empty space.
Deathrate
constant death rate of all individuals.
Init Coop, init defect, init empty
initial densities of cooperators, defectors and empty space. If they do not add up to 100%, the values will be scaled accordingly.
