ExtensiveFormGames

Contains code for modeling two-player zero-sum extensive-form games and algorithms for computing Nash equilibria and related concepts. Right now, the file reader can read two formats, the one used by the zerosum package, and an extension of that format, allowing heavier annotation of the game. In the future, I will (hopefully) add a formal description of the two formats.

If you use this codebase, please cite one of our recent papers, for example:

Extensive-form Game Abstraction with Bounds. Christian Kroer and Tuomas Sandholm. In ACM conference on Economics and Computation (EC), 2014

For a C implementation of the sequence form linear program and the counter-factual regret minimization algorithm, check out Kevin Waugh's zerosum package.

Dependencies

One or more solvers in this library require CPLEX to run. In order to use these, you must add cplex.jar to lib/ to allow compilation. To run it, add the following as a VM argument:

-Djava.library.path=/path/to/CPLEX_Studio/cplex/bin/your-architecture/

To run the JUnit test cases, the variables in the TestConfiguration class should be appropriately updated.
