The web browser you are using does not have features required by the tutorials and game simulators.
Please use the most recent version of one of the following:
These tutorials in evolutionary game theory cover symmetric and asymmetric games, stable equilibria, probability in payoffs, and relatedness. Start with Conflict I (symmetric games), which refers to the tutorials on probability and stable strategies. Continue with Conflict II to extend the analysis to asymmetric games. The Cooperation tutorial (symmetric games) could follow either Conflict I or Conflict II. Most tutorials include simulations that show how games evolve over time. The simulator can run inside the web browser or you may download a stand-alone version.
Tutorials on Parental Care (asymmetric game) and Foraging are under construction and not yet available. The Cooperation tutorial does not yet have video clips illustrating the relevant behaviors, but has all the basic information needed to understand the concepts.
The tutorials have practice questions along the way, with answers provided. Most tutorials have several sections. At the end of each section, you are prompted to click a link that reveals the next section. If you leave the page and come back to it, your progress is saved unless you un-check the Save Progress box at the left.
This web site tracks the time spent on each section and records your answers to the practice questions. Analysis of this data may pinpoint areas of difficulty and areas where the tutorials could be improved. This information is saved anonymously on our server; no personal information is collected by this site.
If you have come this far without seeing a warning message, your web browser is compatible with this web site. You should also allow pop-up windows and have JavaScript enabled. These are the default settings in most web browsers.
